I'm not a fan of touch screens in control scenarios. Touch screens remove the tactile cues that are essential to effective motor memory on any form of control. They significantly increase operator workload as the operator can no longer rely on motor memory and must divert conscious attention to ensuring the control surface is in the state they need/want it to be in for the next action. |

Everything about it can be summed up in one sentence: Mechanical switches are inherently resistant to radiation. :-- :palm: |

I'm surprised they are legal in cars |

Y'all really thought modern control rooms look like the 60's called and want their panel switches back? This is much more like it: |

Just when when all the alarms are on, and you are seconds away from performing a Scram, Windows decides that it is dandy time for an update. Hopefully people understand that I am joking. |
