Maybe it's ok for public spaces, like bars and restaurants, maybe it's not such a good idea to have touch interfaces in hospitals. Given their track record with MRSA etc. It just seems like another feature that we don't really need or want. I’d have to agree, touch screens are annoying when it’s your own stuff they’re touching.

And you've only got to walk up to a touch screen kiosk (such as the new fangled ticket machines in train stations) to know how much of a problem this can be). I think that now is the time to invest in a screen cleaner manufacturing company! Oh, and Reed Townsend's comment is a classic: "I think we've really scratched the surface yet" - and indeed that could prove to be prophetic. Look at the winscreen on an old car and you'll see that over time friction can have a detrimental effect on glass. Don't get me wrong - I love the touch interface on my iPhone. I'm just a long way from being convinced that I want the same thing on my desktop or laptop. I hate it when people touch my screen and leave dirty fingerprints.
