A recent Gartner report suggests that by 2015, half of all computers purchased for children will implement touchscreens rather than the traditional keyboard. Despite their growing popularity, however, touchscreens have some drawbacks with users. Many who need to type, for example, prefer the feel of the familiar keyboard. Touchscreens are also often unresponsive to gloved hands, making their use impractical for certain industrial applications. Dirt and debris may also lead to false inputs.
