Imagine picking up your phone and not being able to tap, swipe, scroll, or pinch to zoom. No glass keyboard. No quick gestures. Every action would need a button, a keyboard, or some other physical control.
The short answer is that our devices would still work, but they would feel much slower and less natural. Smartphones, tablets, ATMs, kiosks, and other everyday screens would rely heavily on physical buttons, keyboards, directional pads, and menu navigation.
