In addition to the grief that Windows can inflict of users, he found the actual practice of touchscreening to be light-years below his starry-eyed expectations.

Believe me, within minutes you will feel the burn, and not a good one.Ī family friend wanted an iMac but was bedazzled by the thought of touch-screen so bought an HP all-in-one instead. Now sit at a desktop computer-doesn't matter which-and practice holding your arm out as if touching the screen. The input device is somewhere around waist level. Here's teh problem: When you use a keyboard/mouse or touchscreen device like a phone or tablet, you do not hold the device straight out in front of you. So can an employer that purchases such equipment for its employees. A computer company can be held legally liable for creating a product that is painful to use and/or creates repetitive stress injuries. Unless you use a desktop computer for only less than 10 minute a day, touch technology is an ergonomic nightmare. I am in full agreement with woodmeister50. Most are good-touchscreen on a desktop is not. I've worked around computers since the late 1960s and have seen the input methods evolve from punch cards to today's options.
