Younger generations "bottle fed" on computers may find this statement laughable, but for those of us whose formative years were analog-only, this is true. Of course, Ken's opinion might just be a perpetual truism. We may always have a need for direct, tactile interfaces. I read just yesterday, for instance, that the "eBook" is essentially a dead concept. We still, young and old alike, prefer the look and feel of the printed page. So, we may, as Ken postulates, always prefer knobs and switches and dials and lights.
I liked my Pegasus, but I love my Corsair.
