Take a look. The biggest jetliner in the world, the Airbus A380. No doubt a leading edge and trend setter in technology and aviation.

Look at the cockpit. It has a keyboard. Joysticks. Screens. Now is IT getting closer to our home systems or are we getting closer to modern aviation? Actually it's both!

I like the cockpit commonality across the Airbus range which probably makes crew training and transition from one model to another less expensive.

Yes, but here is a thought, the biggest plane in the world has less switching gear than its cousin the A320.....
