It's a pet peeve of mine when people describe scientific progress as a miracle.
It's not a miracle. It's the result of a ton of work from many, many people. It's also something that if you research it, you can probably understand it...at least on a basic level.
Semiconductor manufacturing is hard, but it's something that humans are very good at, and we figured it out by ourselves.
You can turn off the swiping gesture. I've done it on my AppleTV, and it is WAY better.
Yes, swiping works well on a phone...because there are no buttons. I don't want to swipe on my TV remote, my car radio, my laptop screen, and fridge, my door handle...
