Suitable: Only for the healthy

Some annotation for the developers of "modern" technology:

Such things as swiping and pinpointing on touchscreens are very uncomfortable for people with clumsy or damaged fine motor skills.
If you already curse about hitting the space in between two keys on the keyboard too often, or directly not the keys that you wanted to push, and if you already hit the wrong places with your mouse cursor too many times on the screen on a normal computer, you'll cheer about a device that expects from you to just work with a single finger all the time.

In other words: This technology is definitely only developed for healthy people. Not for people with handicaps.

Interesting, I saw on reddit yesterday somebody was talking about new ATM machines or something like that, and they use the finger print technology and people immediately questioned that it is not meant for people with amputated hands, especially if there is no alternative to it.

I am healthy but it irritates me a lot. I do not like typing on smartphone. Very inconvenient.
