touchscreen interface
Finger-operated digital surface
A touchscreen interface is a display that responds to direct physical contact, allowing users to interact by tapping, swiping, or pinching rather than using a mouse or keyboard.
Touchscreens dominate smartphones and tablets, and appear on ATMs, kiosks, and car dashboards.
The technology has made computing more intuitive—a toddler can navigate a tablet—but has also eliminated tactile feedback that some users prefer.
