Since Window 8 came out recently you
have probably seen all of the new touchscreen computers on the market.
Does having a touchscreen mean that you will never need your mouse?
This depends on you. If you have a touchscreen computer you will still
have the option of using a mouse, if you prefer, or you can only use the
touchscreen.
The Windows 8 platform is showing that
touchscreen computers are the future now. With Windows 8 having a tile
design and screens that are made to be swiped, you could very easily
forget that you even have a mouse sitting on your desk. Windows 8 is
basically an expansion of the very popular tablet computers.
There are so many people that have been using a mouse and keyboard, that it will take time to overcome the obstacle of using a touchscreen computer. This is especially true for the older generation that spent some time learning how to use a mouse and keyboard. They are now being asked to adapt to using a touchscreen.
Touchscreens and Food
Many people enjoy snacking while they are using their computers. This is not a problem with a mouse and keyboard. This will not be the same for a touchscreen, however. You will have to make sure that your fingers are always completely clean before you start using the touchscreen on your computer. The touchscreen may also require frequent cleaning.
Touchscreens Are Not Comfortable
Sitting in front of your computer using a mouse and keyboard can be comfortable. You can easily adjust your chair, and use a good mouse and keyboard. When using a touchscreen, however, you will have to always be reaching out with your arm to use your computer. Over time, this will become very uncomfortable for most people.
Touchscreens May Be Inconvenient
Touchscreen technology is still new and still not ready to completely replace the mouse and keyboard. It causes the battery on your laptop to go down quicker, and the cost of a touchscreen is much more than your typical monitor.
Touchscreens Are the Future
In time, touchscreens will take over everything. They are much easier to use when playing a game, word processing or for any other activity. They simply do more than the track pad on your laptop or mouse can do.
Touchscreens are also more efficient. To open a program with a touchscreen simply touch it. When using a mouse and keyboard you have to find it, and then point to it, and then click it to open it. Touchscreens also add much more control with the pinch to zoom technology, and offers easier navigation.
