Thread: How Durable is TouchScreen technology?

Its been long since touch screen devices have been launched.Every consumer now has an access to it.

But I have not bought any touch screen device/gadget till date.I just wonder "are touch screens really durable" ?

By looking at them I really find them very "delicate" !

Please tell me your experience with your touchscreen device.Whether they are easy to handle or not etc. etc.So that I can look forward to this technology in future

Nice Example L.S.

Will visit next month & see whether they have it now or they have changed it. Will tell you then.

touch screens get affected by dirty fingers...

chinese ones are not that good..

Well, it depends how we handle it. I have been using touch screen phones for past 3-4 years. I find it very easy to use as compared to the phones with keypad. Regarding durability, it also depends on the quality of the product. A china/Korean made touch screen phone may not be as durable as compared to Apple i-phone, hTc or other such phones.

Yeah,Even I have seen it, its really amazing to see from how long that touch screen thing is still there, (though I visited science museum a long time ago).

How would you know that they did not repair/replace it within the last eight years?

^^^ great catch j4k...

They might have repaired it but they didn't replaced it as that screen is not available. I have not written that they didn't repaired it. CRT touch screens had much longer life.

I don't know how I missed it

I don't think so.

Infact, it makes many tasks easier.

The only disadvantage I find in them is that they have to be handled with a hell lot of care.
