Ergonomics
Though touch screen laptops are fun to operate, using them for extended periods can hurt your hands, eyes, neck, or back, leading to computer vision syndrome and tingling in the hand and arm.
Does touch screen make human life easier than it is necessary?
Since touch screens were designed to provide user-friendly, intuitive computer access without requiring a keyboard and mouse, it logically follows that touch screens can be excellent tools for people who experience difficulty using keyboards and mice because of physical or cognitive disabilities.
Do touch screens not work for some people?
Why is it that some people cannot use a touchscreen? If your fingers have significant callous or you have very dry skin, it can impede electrical conductivity. This prevents the flow of electricity. So you can end up mashing away on the phone or tablet in vain with your 'Zombie Finger'.
What are the pros and cons of a touch screen?
It's easier and more direct to use a mouse or touchpad, especially when shopping, filling out forms, etc. A few other disadvantages to consider include a heavier weight (touch screens add about 0.2 to 0.4 pounds), worse battery life and poor viewing angles. Not to mention, they are usually more expensive.
