Touch screen--
Interface future or gimmicks marketing headache?
When the first touch screen interface comes out (
At least in the big consumer)
It's in a smartphone.
There must be other instances of the touch screen interface (
ATM, TV remote control, etc. )
However, none of the touch screen applications have become so prolific and so fast as the smartphone touch screen.
It seems that overnight, we began to see all kinds of tech devices with built-in touch screens come to us, so that practicality became very popular.
In general, I think the touch screen is an extension of my fingers.
Tap, slide, bump;
Whatever you do with your fingers, the touch screen can become a feature.
However, some applications of this technology are simply irritating.
Take the new crop of touch screen laptops as an example.
Touch screen--on a laptop. . . really?
Now let's review the usefulness of the touch screen. . .
Useful for fingers, not hands, not feet.
Based on the functionality of the way our fingers work.
If I'm leaning against the keyboard, I'm really in the mood to walk around and click on the screen?
Didn't the industry learn from the flub of HP Touchsmart computers?
Left and Right customers complain about wrist pain, arm fatigue and tennis elbow having to hover their arms over the keyboard just to click and slide the screen.
This is a nightmare of human engineering.
Try to straighten your arm for about 60 seconds and you will understand the point of the problem.
But let marketers ignore history just to make a dollar.
I was surprised that more people didn't complain about their laptop touch screen.
I curse me every day.
This is a working computer. -
I would never buy it for myself.
Every time I go to point out something on the screen for the client to minimize the screen or pop up the browser suddenly! ! !
Of course, I bought Microsoft's Surface tablet, which is a tablet, not a laptop.
Tablets are defined by the use of touch screens.
Therefore, by this definition, they are usually smaller and more portable than laptops, and provide a touch interface for devices that are usually handheld devices like smartphones.
So Windows 8 also has a touch interface in Metro, but if I hold a 17-inch laptop in my arms, can you imagine having to click on the screen and that bad boy? Neither can I.
It's just not intuitive, in fact, it's downright clumsy.
The touch screen is the most intuitive device, which can be based on ergonomics (read, hands).
The touch screen on the laptop is no more sensible than the touch screen on the TV or refrigerator.
Of course, there's a big touch screen.
Devices such as cash registers are enabled, but when was the last time you took the cash register with you?
Touch screen is a cool technology.
But, like any technology, you have to think about the application in order to be successful in adoption and future use.
Tech companies need to stop putting new technology into every device and see what's "great ".
"The last thing the end user wants is to" deal with "a technology and not benefit from it.
Ultimately, for obvious reasons, the touch screen has a place in the smartphone space.
Some devices benefit from it, while others benefit from it.
The industry should get some tips from it. . . .
Because I would be pissed off if I saw the touch screen on the urinal or toilet.
