I thought I missed actually having buttons for things, but recently I found out that no, touch screens are usually superior.
Depends one what function. Volume and power on a phone I find better than touch controls, since I can control it without looking. And do things like hold the power button to turn of flash light or double tap power button to bring up camera. No need for screen to have been on.
For more complicated UI then touchscreen is better with it being more dynamic like selecting songs.
We're talking in context of phones, I didn't specify any other device.
I meant phones when I mentioned volume and power button.
That's a really weird claim, because that is entirely situational.
On my car radio? Absolutely not
On my phone? Definitely yes
On my laptop? Hardly ever use it, so not a must at all and does not make it superior over one without.
My oven (or other appliances)? I'm going to go with no. If a button breaks it can be repaired and in the meantime you can still use the others, if a touch screen dies it needs to be replaced entirely.
