Sure, by now children can do some rudimentary typing and mouse flicking. But if you think trackpads are awful for adults, you should observe children using them. Tears, people.
Two days ago a mathematician was explaining a concept to me that involved math I’ve long forgotten combined with math I’ve never learned. When I told him I didn’t completely follow, he said “It’s super easy,” and repeated what he had already said - but more slowly.
Now, there were no tears involved, but anyone who is trying to explain or teach something they’re an expert in/at to someone (of any age) who is very much not would do well to remember the three sentences I’ve quoted above. Tears or no, at any age, it’s incredibly frustrating.
