still available to the nearly 6,000 systems that remain
in operation today
•Made for families hence the name Home Manager
1989 GRiDPAD


•GRiD was a pioneer in mobile computing, and
many of the technologies in today’s notebooks,
tablets, and handhelds would not exist had it
not been for the GRID
•It measured 9 x 12 x 1.4 inches and weighed
4.5 pounds. Text was entered directly on the
screen with an electronic pen. The procedure
was slow, taking one to two seconds for written
characters to be redisplayed as computer-
generated characters
1992 Simon


•The IBM Simon Personal Communicator was the
world's first smartphone, created by a joint venture
between IBM and BellSouth.
• Simon was first shown as a product concept in 1992

world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, and games. It
had no physical buttons to dial with. Instead customers
used a touchscreen to select phone numbers with
1996 Pilot

•First generation of PDAs manafactured by Palm Computing in
1996
•The Pilot PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) was mainly targeted
towards business people because it would help them organize
their stuff easily and it was more convenient at the time.
•The inventors of the Pilot were Jeff Hawkins, Donna Dubinsky,
and Ed Colligan, who founded Palm Computing. The original
purpose of this company was to create handwriting recognition
software for other devices
2007 iPhone

•The apple Iphone was first introduced on January
9, 2007 nearly 15 years after the IBM Simon was
introduced
•This is an all around phone. It could be used for
music, organizing etc.
•It was the first smartphone to bring many, now
standard, technologies to the industry including
multi-touch gestures, full Web browsing, and an
accelerometer to flip the screen’s orientation or act
as another form of input
•They also had neat applications that would do
different things it was easy for consumers to
download and install these apps that 1 billion of
them were downloaded int he first nine months.
2007 Surface




•A table computer that uses multi-touch technology to
allow several users, using their fingers (up to 52), to
simultaneously manipulate images and other data right
on the screen
•It can also sense and interact with objects like
cameras, phones, water glasses, and even
paintbrushes that are placed on top of it
2010-2012 iPad


•Apple’s iPad is a gap between laptops and
smartphones
•It had many great features. A machine dsigned to
handle internet browsing, email, photos, music,
videos, games and eBooks.
•And with an available keyboard dock and plenty of
apps just a touch away, the iPad will also serve a
market of non-technical and new computer users.
The iPad may prove to do for touchscreen tablets
what Apple did for smartphones with the release of
the iPhone.
This video will show you how far technology has
      advanced in touchscreens since 1972

Conclusion


 Overall Touchscreens revolutionized the smartphone
industry. What was state-of-the-art technology 20
years ago is now almost standard for all devices. The
ability to operate a device by touch has changed the
way we interact with our devices, but there’s always
room for improvement. So, what comes next?
