The Trouble with Touch Screens

Originally published on December 26, 2008.

The POS (Point of Sale) system at Frankly Wines is basically a fancy Windows-powered computer with a touch screen. The touch screen is great once you get used to it, but it has it’s downside…I find myself tapping on my laptop screen, the screen of my desktop at home, sometimes even the TV. Tapping those devises does nothing…except make me look like an idiot when I get all huffy because “they’re not working.”

Could be worse. I could have a store full of tribbles…now that would be trouble!
