Design Talk: Touch interfaces suck!

Being a blogger and programmer, design doesn't come to mind very often. I just want something that works and has decent looks. But the real idea behind design is the idea that every tool has a purpose, and if you aren't using that tool for what it was intended for, then you're breaking it's design. This website in the source makes a great argument about how touch screen will not be the future of UI (User Interaction/Interface) mainly because it's the wrong tool for the problem. I tend to agree. There isn't a whole lot you can do with just your finger. We need a tool that utilizes the whole hand.
