Benefits Of PDA And Touchscreen Technology

In: Technology

7 Jul 2010

Touch screen technology is being introduced into Portable Digital Assistants (PDAs). This has become fashionable as it now becomes easier to operate the PDAs. A touch with a finger or a stylus on the display area of the touchscreen is detected instantly by the PDAs. The function displayed on the point of touch gets activated. There is actually no need of an intermediary as the stylus as the finger itself is enough. The display area of the touchscreen becomes the interface between the operator and the device. This makes the conventional mouse or a touchpad redundant as these are replaced by the display and the touch. Touchscreen technology was developed during the 1960s. It was used in a computer assisted learning terminal in 1972. The HP-150 launched in 1983 was one of the first commercial touchscreen computers. Touchscreen technology has further evolved into multipoint touchscreen where the touchscreen responds to more than one finger at a time. This made it possible for more than one person to interact at the same time with the touchscreen.
