Does anyone else have trouble with touchscreens? I’m finding they’re pretty much everywhere — my phone, my iPod, my netbook computer…
I once got a notebook computer and had to take it back; either I would touch it and nothing would happen (multiple times!) or it would open windows when my finger was still a quarter-inch away. I have to be very careful with my iPod. When I run, I like to set everything up, then slip it into its case. But the act of putting it away can instantly change what I’ve so carefully done. Granted, it’s a great way to discover new radio stations, but seriously… I have a netbook computer with a keyboard, but it has a touchpad with no buttons. Everytime I use it, it opens an unwanted window or program at least once. The screen is touch-sensitive, too. It’s getting so dusty I can hardly see through it. But I don’t notice the dust until I’m using it, and then I’m leery of touching the screen for fear of sabotaging what I’m working on.
I guess this is God’s way of telling me I’m getting old.
