Definition
A display that can detect when and where you touch it, allowing you to control a device by tapping or swiping on the screen.
Etymology
It combines 'touch' (from Old French 'toucher') and 'screen' (from Middle Dutch 'scherm', meaning 'shield'). The compound became common in the late 20th century with the rise of digital devices.
Kelly Says
Touchscreens turned the screen from something you just look at into something you physically interact with, almost like shaking hands with your device. They blur the line between tool and partner, making technology feel more like an extension of your body.
