Are physical buttons going extinct?
Briefly

The advent of the touchscreen revolutionized user experience design, transitioning from physical buttons to graphical interfaces, shaping how future interfaces are created and understood.
Eric Arthur Johnson's groundbreaking 1967 paper on touch displays shifted the paradigm, highlighting a future where traditional interaction methods would be replaced by intuitive, fingertip-based interfaces.
The HP-150, introduced in 1983, was the first commercially available computer equipped with a touchscreen, marking a critical moment in the evolution of human-computer interaction.
Today's UX designers stand on the shoulders of these innovations—understanding that the evolution of interface design is inherently tied to the technological advancements of touchscreen capabilities.
