Lighten up, you say? I don't know...I sort of like having radios I can actually use. Unless said touch screen will also come with some sort of spoken interface, (they haven't, so far), I guess eventually I get to look for a new hobby if that's where we're all going. And really, with the aging ham population and the sight loss that sometimes comes with said aging population, guess a lot of those guys are gonna be screwed, too. Sounds like a great idea to me.
