Our mobiles, our TV’s and our computers- their displays are all getting bigger and bigger! A display is one of those things that as it gets bigger, it gets better. Everyone loves the idea of having a big-screen TV to enjoy high quality movies on or a mobile phone with a huge screen to enjoy cool apps. As technology develops, along with the screens getting larger on these devices, the buttons used to control these devices are becoming smaller, to the point that they’re becoming scarce. All that’s left now is the huge screen, and that’s the only way we have to interact with the device.
This actually isn’t such a bad idea- just touch the screen. It seems like a really cool way to interface with my phone or computer. If you think about it, before any of us could roll around a mouse and click it or even type on a keyboard, we were all pushing and poking stuff with our fingers when we were little. Why can’t we still do that now? It’ll be fun! How cool would it be to just touch what you wanted to select as opposed to having to scroll to it then to click on it? It would be easy, wouldn’t you say? And even a lot more fun?
Touch-screen technology can even bridge the technological gap between the different generations. A toddler can play games with and learn using a touch-screen computer and similarly a grandparent can use the same computer to send e-mails, browse the web and even edit photos.
We should all get up to the time get our own cool touch screen devices. My phone doesn’t have a touch-screen but when people ask me if it has, I always say yes- you can touch it; but nothing will happen.
