Touch screen technology is a huge part of our daily lives. Many of you may have realized this trying to decide between the basic Kindle and the Kindle Touch. The technology itself is no longer the novelty and businesses are looking for new ways to put it to use. NPR just did a story about iPads in the classroom and hospitals. It also took a look at the psychology of touch screens, especially in relation to children. They are connecting to their devices in a way that older generations may not understand. It wasn't necessarily possible with the analog technologies of the past but now it is commonplace across the board. The story concludes with a look forward at a touch screen that can both give and receive information. It could change again the way we interact with tablets, cell phones, mp3 players and other devices.
