What was once limited to phones and kiosks is now becoming mainstream, even on laptops that can\u2019t bend backward completely to become a tablet. In the near future, almost every foreseeable physical interface to a computer could be through these touchscreens. But if the current condition of the technology is to be considered, they have a long way to go before becoming the ideal way we interact with the computers around us.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-family-hub.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-family-hub.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-359576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-family-hub.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-family-hub.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"8b2728aee9bdfa45466b4248-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"8b2728aee9bdfa45466b4248-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"State_of_the_Art\"><\/span>State of the Art<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say that touch screens haven\u2019t evolved significantly over the past years.

Keyboard and mice carry with them the risk of repetitive strain injury, while styluses are an imperfect approximation of pencils and pens, especially when you consider that they\u2019re sliding on glass. And while touch screens can practically turn any surface into an input device, they seem to almost go against aspects of human nature itself.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feedback\"><\/span>Feedback<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Humans have five basic senses, but most of us tend to take the other three or four for granted until we lose them. Despite their name, touch screens actually feel unnatural precisely because they don\u2019t complete the whole tactile picture that our minds need to process when interacting with physical objects. Pushing a button looks like pushing a button but also requires our brains to make something like a leap of faith that it really does what it\u2019s supposed to do.<\/p>\n<p>Tactile response and haptic feedback for touch screens have long been on the plate of engineers and designers, but we\u2019re no closer to cracking the code. There have been numerous patents filed to solve that puzzle, from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US9448630\">deformable screens<\/a> to extremely localized vibrations, but those have mostly remained in the realm of ideas.

There are settings to increase the sensitivity of the touch sensor, but these are mostly band-aid solutions to an inherent problem. Of course, some devices do allow for alternate input methods like voice control, but these often come up short and don\u2019t provide all the features and conveniences of a touch-centric user experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Familiarity\"><\/span>Familiarity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Humans are also creatures of habit, which is how many of us have been able to survive through the millennia.

You don\u2019t have to look at the keyboard each time to check if the letter \u201cq\u201d hasn\u2019t moved around, and neither do you need to double-check that the left mouse button hasn\u2019t switched sides. Some people in the past have grown the ability to type quickly and accurately on the T9 keypad of old phones because their fingers knew exactly where each button was and how many times to press it for specific letters. In contrast, it\u2019s nearly impossible to use a touch screen without looking at it, especially when software updates change how big buttons are or where they\u2019re located.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/ios-control-center.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/ios-control-center.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-359583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/ios-control-center.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/ios-control-center.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Designer: Apple<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say that humans will remain this way forever. In the past decades alone, we have formed habits and developed gestures that already look alien to older generations. Conversely, younger people have a hard time believing that anyone could type out messages using a keypad with rapid speed and deadly accuracy. Evolution, however, doesn\u2019t happen in just a span of decades or even centuries, and humans will continue to remain beholden to their senses and the physicality of their bodies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flexibility\"><\/span>Flexibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Touch screens, being based on digital user interfaces, have the advantage of not being locked to a single implementation. It\u2019s definitely much easier to change the layout of a screen than to change the knobs on a physical panel. The arrival of foldable and rollable panels also means that screens have become literally more flexible, but these are not the kinds of flexibility that today\u2019s touch screens lack.<\/p>\n<p>Touch screens actually put limits on how you can use them or the devices they\u2019re attached to. The number of gloves advertised to work with touch screens is a testament to how these screens aren\u2019t usable under conditions where their analog counterparts have no problem. You can\u2019t confidently take out your phone under a heavy downpour, but you\u2019ll have no problems using a payphone with your soaking hands.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Quanta_vici_smart_gloves_and_socks_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Quanta_vici_smart_gloves_and_socks_03.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-359584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Quanta_vici_smart_gloves_and_socks_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Quanta_vici_smart_gloves_and_socks_03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Designer: Adrien Beyk of Quanta Vici<\/p>\n<p>Devices that rely on touch screens also become nearly useless when those screens break. Sometimes, it\u2019s not even possible to back up or reset a phone so that you can safely send it for repairs without worrying about your private data. They need to be repaired or replaced first before the device can even be wiped, which defeats the purpose of securing the phone first. Until then, the device is as good as dead, no matter how advanced or how powerful it might be.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Endgame_Sustainability\"><\/span>Endgame: Sustainability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Touch screens are the most common ways we interact with devices today, be it phones, computers, interactive displays, or smart home hubs. They might become the main points of interaction for everything in the world in the near future, short of being able to manipulate holograms and virtual objects floating in thin air. It is somewhat ironic, then, that they are the least sustainable among the different input methods we have today.<\/p>\n<p>Displays themselves already consume power, and the materials used to make them aren\u2019t the most environment-friendly options. Companies like Samsung are developing more power-efficient panels to reduce electricity consumption, and some are looking into alternative materials for components.

Only one phone manufacturer, for example, has made repairability and sustainability its main selling point, and it\u2019s just a small drop in the ocean. Screens, in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, feel like throwaway components that add to the growing e-waste of the planet. Device manufacturers generally frown upon self-repairs and third-party replacements, making the process costly as well. In a future where there will be screens left and right as the primary way we interact with things in our world, that vision becomes a bit of a nightmare, especially for our planet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_New_Hope\"><\/span>A New Hope<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Things don\u2019t have to end on a depressing note, of course. Humans are pretty creative and ingenious in finding solutions to their problems, even if it takes a long time to develop the correct one. The current state of technology, particularly with touch screens, just represents a milestone in history, not its final state. Fortunately, there are clear signs of things turning for the better.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, there are efforts to make screens themselves be more power-efficiency and consume less electricity. These might sound like small wins, but they do all add up. When all our screens use only a fraction of the power they do today, the overall carbon footprint these devices incur can significantly be reduced.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-display-ces2022-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-display-ces2022-6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-359588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-display-ces2022-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/samsung-display-ces2022-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Samsung-Display-Eco2-OLED-Structure.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Samsung-Display-Eco2-OLED-Structure.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-359589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Samsung-Display-Eco2-OLED-Structure.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Touchscreens drive our world, but they still suck in 2022\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/touchscreens-drive-our-world-but-they-still-suck-in-2022\/Samsung-Display-Eco2-OLED-Structure.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Designer: Samsung<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, big companies today are now more aware of the environmental impacts of their products and processes, as well as their responsibilities in making sure that future generations still have a world to live in. Some are trying to switch to more sustainable packaging solutions, while many are trying to reduce their carbon emissions during production. We still have a lot of work to do, however, in making products more sustainable and repairable, prolonging their life even beyond legally required warranties.<\/p>\n<p>The other technical problems, unfortunately, might be harder to solve with the current state of our technologies. Screens that can deform to give a better tactile response when pressing a button are very much the dream of many display makers, engineers, and designers. It\u2019s not something we might be able to achieve this year, but it is definitely something to look forward to in our future visions.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
