I personally think that we are used to the changes. I mean, look at the speed with which new inventions come. 5 years ago, nobody used a touch screen on a phone. Most people wouldn't have dreamt of a small computer in their pocket which can also be used for calling. Nowadays the changes come so quickly that most people are used to them. I agree that these changes might not be of the same calibre as the keyboard was to businessmen, but then again, they weren't prepared for change in the technological tools they used.
