Touch screens
« on: November 27, 2011, 08:00:45 PM »
All new gadgets now seem to come with touch screens ( puters, phones , cameras etc) .....whilst they are really easy to use does this not almost guarantee you having to take out some kind of insurance on them; as the likelihood of them not working has got to be significantly more ?

Or is the Growler effect seeping into my thinking ?

But everything I've always had with a touch screen has had issues with the screen , and just look at all the feckin ticket dispensing machines that you struggle with because they are not working or unresponsive  rubschin:
