‘Hey PC Industry: Stop Being So Damn Touchy-Feely’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Hey PC Industry: Stop Being So Damn Touchy-Feely”.
Brian Proffitt says, “Intel’s CES prediction that there will be $599 ultrabooks with touchscreens on the market by the end of 2013 promises to shake up the computer market, giving the finger to the notion that Tablets Will Rule All. But do we really need to have touchscreens on every new computing device?
Ever since Minority Report came out in 2002, the tech community has been fascinated – nay, obsessed – with the idea of gesture- and touch-based interfaces. I guess we should be happy about this – if Minority Report was the inspiration, the collective imagination couldhave latched on to the notion of floating in liquid tanks as the optimum way to communicate with the machines in our lives”.
