Touchscreens

Article Abstract:

Touchscreens are one of the most basic and most pervasive application of computer technology in human life. This device is used in cash registers of pubs and restaurants, in ticket machines of train stations and airports, and in industrial process lines. The increasing usage of touchscreens is based on its capacity to fast access any form of digital media and its utilization of touch detection mechanisms instead of keyboards and mice.
