Although we normally associate direct input with touch screens, it is not true to say that touch screens are preferred over keyboards. Unlike hardware keyboards, virtual keyboards do not provide any form of tactile feedback, for instance. However, as voice controlled devices continue to improve, the need for keyboard entry will diminish. After all, why would you type a letter when you can simply dictate it?
However, there are obvious areas where direct input excels over keyboard entry, such as graphic design through light pens, and smart phone technology. With traditional keypad phones, there's just one physical input device with small keys and a relatively small output device. But with touch screen technology, input and output are combined and the interface becomes adaptive, more intuitive and more direct.

The Playstation Controller can be used for the keyboard and will show up when the answer needs to be typed. You place the cursor over the spot that the letters need to appear and use the x key. That will cause a keyboard to appear on the screen and you must click on the letters or spaces until the word is ready to be entered. The right side of the screen also has a selection of complete entries that change as you fill in letters for your entry. There is also a keyboard you can purchase to use over the PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller
The Protestant Reformation reflected Humanism by emphasizing individual interpretation of religious texts, promoting education as a means to deepen spiritual understanding, and encouraging critical thinking and questioning of traditional religious practices. Humanist ideas such as the importance of personal conscience and direct engagement with religious sources contributed to the reform movement challenging the authority of the Catholic Church.
Cuneiform was preferred over picture writing because it allowed for more complex ideas to be communicated more efficiently. Cuneiform consisted of a combination of symbols that represented both sounds and concepts, allowing for a wider range of information to be recorded. Additionally, cuneiform was better suited for representing the sounds of the spoken language, making it more adaptable for recording different dialects and languages.
yes
Transity of preference is one of the axioms common to most models of decision theory. It means that if choice A is preferred over choice B and choice B is preferred over choice C, then choice A should be preferred over choice C.

A tilde over a tilde means approximately equal to, yet there is no easily available keyboard entry for that, so it may be a similar shortcut entry for that, sorry if that is incorrect. I have used that for many many years in my own handwritten notes as the meaning for approximately equal (it is from my old math classes.)
