Right, that's why I enter text to my computer using a visual pen that I
move with the mouse.

The problem is it's a bad interface for the tools you have availble on
the computer: keyboard, mouse, screen.  Making a set of rich input
metaphors that do work well with keyboards, mice and screens isn't easy,
and isn't really solved.  But that's not an excuse for refusing to try.
