I can't imagine laptops going to touch screens, as this would just about
kill the touch typing method for blind people. I would certainly hope that
there would be a way to connect an external keyboard? A touch screen
laptop, unless it works as the iPhone does, would be extremely difficult for
us to use.

Hi Damien,
Well, unfortunately as I said in my prior post touchscreen devices are
becoming more common. Not just on smart phones and tablet PCs but the next
generation of Windows laptops and desktops will begin shipping with
touchscreens as well.
The way Windows 8 is designed instead of a start menu we now have a start
screen with icons tiled across the screen in rows and columns like a
table. Perfect for a touchscreen, or mouse but a pain in the rear if you
try to get to those icons using a keyboard or buttons on a smart phone.
However, love it or hate it I think touchscreen technology is here to
stay.
As for Apple's iPhone I personally don't think it is too bad. Yes, there
is a learning curve involved, but like everything in life practice makes
perfect. I understand your frustration, but I also sense perhaps you just
gave up rather than sticking with it. A lot of us who have used iPhones
just stuck with it until we figured it out. Rather than getting frustrated
and throwing in the towel we practiced at it until we got good at using
the phone.
Cheers!
