'Gorilla Arm' Will Keep Touch Screens From Taking Over:
Hugh Pickens writes "With Windows 8, Microsoft has made a billion-dollar
gamble that personal computing is taking a new direction and that new
direction is touch, says David Pogue. It's efficient on a touchscreen tablet
. But Microsoft expects us to run Windows 8 on our tens of millions of
everyday PCs. Although touch has been incredibly successful on our phones,
tablets, airport kiosks and cash machines, Pogue says touch will never take
over on PCs. The reason? Gorilla Arms. There are three big differences
between tablet screens and a PC's screen: angle, distance and time interval.
The problem is 'the tingling ache that [comes] from extending my right arm
to manipulate that screen for hours, an affliction that has earned the
nickname of gorilla arm.' Some experts say gorilla arm is what killed touch
computing during its first wave in the early 1980s but Microsoft is betting
that Windows 8 will be so attractive that we won't mind touching our PC
screens, at least until the PC concept fades away entirely. 'My belief is
that touch screens make sense on mobile computers but not on stationary ones
,' concludes Pogue. 'Microsoft is making a gigantic bet that I'm wrong.'" | t*****y
