theuser47817yIt does absolutely make sense for touchscreens, but it doesn't make sense for a touchpad because you're not actually directly touching the content.
-
CristCD2957yIt makes sense, a touchpad is a pad that simulates touching the screen. If you don't like just change it, but it isn't wrong.

CptFox16167yI mostly hate it because now, both options exist and are widely represented. I have my computers in the old fashion, a lot of friends too, but sometimes I'll use someone's computer and get confused because they have it opposite to mine
-
Tekon1877yI see it as you're pushing the content on screen upwards or pulling it down. Personally I prefer that when using a touchpad.

anth128127yI hated it when I first used a Mac but now I find it much nicer and have 'Australian scroll's enabled on my Chromebook and Windows laptops.

The content move using up when you move your fingers up, just as the pointer moves up when you move your finger up

gelido07yMakes sense for touch screen and touch pad.
Quite a different story when talking about mouse wheel. -
Touchpad? What is that?
Some people also talk about a thing called "mouse"..
That's so weird to me..
Keyboards for live:)
At least when betterSnapTool is installed on OS X.
I really hate Apple for popularizing reversed scrolling on touchpads. It doesn't make any fucking sense.
