Who drives with two hands? You only really need one to operate a steering wheel. Waving your hand left or right is significantly less distracting than typing on a keyboard. Not only that, but keeping your eyes on the road, as opposed to looking down, is much safer.

That worked out really well with prohibition. It is a great suggestion, but hoping people will not send texts/emails/answer phone calls while driving is simply naive. I think an invention like this that hopes to make it safer for people to use their phone while driving is a much better alternative than scolding people who use their phone. I completely agree that it is dangerous to use your phone. It's 2014, there are better/smarter ways to use a phone than holding it and typing on it.

Thank you! That took much less time then me digging through the internet myself!

Citation please?

As for the millenials as a whole generation, it matches up pretty well. 24/7 access to information on smartphones. We (yes, I said we, as in millenials) don't need to ask people for information when we can get it right away. Which leads to impatience and wanting everything now.

You are absoloutely right. Not everyone under 30 wears fedoras and is a tech hipster. But,

lines up almost exactly with every millenial because we all grew up with the internet and smart phones (for the most part). If we do everything else automated on our cell phones, it makes sense to have automated hotel check ins.

But like you said, the security implications will be interesting! We'll see if it will be easier or not to break into a hotel with a smartphone vs. traditional hotel room break ins.

Totally just did the same thing! You learn something new every day! Thanks wikipedia!

Probably 49 old people too.

What is a "typewriter"?

I'll never be able to type as fast as I could using the T9 System. That's the last keyboard I could actually type on without looking, very quickly and very accurately. Then I jumped right onto a smart phone touchscreen keyboard. For me, it really doesn't make a difference if I have to look at the keys and the screen, because they're so close together anyway.

My final point: slide-out keyboards are just one more physical moving part that can break on a cell phone. Don't need it.

Exactly. Professional Sports athletes put in countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears to become the best at what they do. They need to practice and better themselves physically in order to become the best at what they do. They risk their bodies (from injuries) when playing sports. Sitting in a chair with a controller behind a TV/Computer screen is nothing compared to what "old school" sports athletes go through. 2 a day practices, 6am practices, etc. You just won't find that kind of sacrifice in esports -- at least not right now.

Actually, I bought a house when I was 22.

I drive a Honda Accord, not a Fit, but close.

I worked at Best Buy (Doing Retail) for 3 years while I was in high school and college. It was a huge motivator for me to get my comp sci degree.

And I've never drank scotch.

If you're so envious of programmers, there's still time to learn the skills to become a programmer. Heck, you can even teach yourself online.

What's an 'App store'?

40 years of code could mean 2-3 years of development, and then fixing a bug here and there and updating this or that every now and then. Just because some of the code is 40 years old does not equate to 40 years of development time.

5 years is a pretty long time to focus on straight dev time. Sounds like the mismanagement part had more of an impact than just using the excuse of it being a "legacy system". I realize that management always portays the timeline as 1/3 of what it will actually take to develop something, but wasting 5 years and $300 million... It's hard for me to think of a justification for that!

No, I'm just a linux programmer.

Infinitely density. Wow. The Engrish need helped.

Everything looks flat on my old CRT monitors!
