Touching on Touch Screen Tech

Reach out and touch…screens! Touchscreen tech is so commonplace now, we take it for granted. Not that long ago we still had to pound, press and mouse away on our tech.

 Touchscreens are so common now, if I walk up to a screen somewhere and it’s NOT touch reactive, I’m disappointed. I have to press BUTTONS!?  Touchscreens are going to get even more and more prevalent in our lives, homes, and workplaces.

According to PC Magazine a touchscreen is, "a display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or stylus. Widely used on ATM machines, retail point-of-sale terminals, car navigation systems, medical monitors and industrial control panels, the touchscreen became wildly popular on handhelds after Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007."
