I certainly agree about the touchscreens. They irritate me in real life and I'd prefer them gone from fiction. They're used because they're an easy indicator that this technology is 'futuristic.'

 

I seriously think that's the reason they're so prevalent in real life. The average consumer is easily suckered into thinking they're a 'better' technology because that's what they see in Iron Man or whatever.

 

 

Well, OK, that depends on the application, but they're not going away in real life or in fiction, because as much as they might irritate some people, they actually do work well, and do provide some benefits, like cost, space-saving, durability in terms of prolonged use (a knob on a Sony Ericsson or a laptop's trackpoint will wear down long before an iPhone's display or laptop's trackpad will).

They have their uses but none of that is in an area that requires quick responses or reactions. They even tried to explain the lack of feedback with the implants in a user's fingertips but seriously... watch the cutscene of the Normandy fleeing from the red/green/blue blast at the end of ME3 and how Joker is moving holographic touchscreens around right in front of his vision. That's just nonsense.

 

Even the most advanced airplanes, even the space shuttle and pretty much everything that flies use a joystick for a reason. If touchscreens were so much better, then we'd see them in the newest designs by Airbus or Boeing.

I frankly alway felt the Normandy was too small for its crew size. Literally felt like anyone not on Shepards squad just slept on the floor, One reason why I'm for the ship in  Andromeda being bigger and more dreadnought like, basicially its own little hub.

 

Same reason but I'm going in the opposite direction, the Arc is the main hub world and our ship is small. The crew is a pilot, an engineer and a medic and all the others jobs are done by the squadmates when not on mission or a VI with a personality.

 

EDI might have been a AI but ME2 showed that a lot of the stuff we had a human crew for could be done by computer.

I just want a bar, and poker table I can use.

Bless you for including Gary Chalk. That man is the voice of Optimus Prime for me. 

 

Peter Cullen will always be my favorite but Chalk's work in Beast Wars and Beast Machines was equal to Cullen.

Daemon,

Exactly right, but,

our reality into the ME reality?

Doesn't even remotely work, so, hence the need for Space Magic.

I just want intelligent Space Magic™... not the dumb one that makes no sense.
