New page

==Examples==
{{empty}}

==Why it's a problem==
*  If the battery dies or the software has a glitch, the '''access is gone'''.
** {{light|''Babies have been locked in cars this way.''}} {{pn|TODO: add link}}
* More expensive, with no real tangible improvement.
* Internally, all the same analog components still exist - you just can't reach them. So none of the "old-fashioned problems" are prevented anyway.
* In the case of touchscreens in cars, the driver can't use it without taking their eyes off the road {{light|(whereas analog controls can be ''felt'' - muscle memory makes them easier to use over time)}}.

==What motivated companies to do this to products==
* Superficially, the all-digital controls seem more "technologically advanced". This impresses shareholders.
* People who criticize the lack of analog controls, are labelled as anti-tech boomer luddites. Proper discourse doesn't happen often enough.

==What can be done==
===Collective actions to take {{fists}}===
{{empty}}
===Better designs===
{{empty}}
