Phone manufacturers are desperately working towards “all screen” handsets, going so far as to cut into the screen just to fit hardware like the selfie camera. While this is an aggressive trend, many consumers still prefer buttons. Keyboards, programmable short cuts, camera shutter buttons. In this modern age, can hardware beat software? It’s time for a debate! A GEEK DEBATE!

The viewer poll has four options. The premise of the debate is this video’s title: “Smartphone Buttons are Better than Gestures.”
Each poll option has TWO parts, if you originally agreed with that premise, and whether you changed your mind during the debate. So, if you originally AGREED with the premise, but TK changed your mind, then your vote will be “Agreed, but now disagree!”

Are smartphones making you deaf? The modern smartphone has only been in existence for ten years, too brief a time to properly study all of the behavioral and physiological effects of such a new technology, especially for how quickly it changes and evolves. Yet over this window of time, from the Walkman to the iPod, and through the reign of the iPhone, we are starting to see increasing rates of hearing loss in children and young adults. I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Alison Grimes, Director of Audiology at UCLA, to discuss some of the more recent trends in hearing health and lifestyle technology.
