Why Touch Screens Only Respond to Fingers: The Science Behind the Sensitivity

  I. Introduction Touch screen technology enables direct interaction with devices through touch. Using either capacitive or resistive methods, these screens detect user input, translating it into commands. Widely used in smartphones, tablets, and kiosks, touch screens offer intuitive navigation, eliminating the need for physical buttons and enhancing user experience across various applications. Understanding how touch screens work is crucial for users and developers alike. It enhances user experience by ensuring effective interaction, informs choices in device selection, and guides troubleshooting. For developers, knowledge of touch technology is vital for creating intuitive applications and improving interface design, ultimately leading to greater user satisfaction. This blog aims to explore why touch screens predominantly respond to fingers, delving into the science behind touch sensitivity. By examining the principles of capacitive and resistive technology, we will uncover the

Difference between Barcode, QR code and RFID

Difference between Barcode, QR code and RFID    What Is A Barcode? Norman Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver  was the first to invent barcode, initially it was based on the dots and dashes of Morse Code. In the 1960s American Railroads started to use barcodes to identify trains, cars etc. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that The barcodes became commercially successful in 1970 and thereafter it has been taken up by supermarkets as a way to quick matching of items at the checkout point which is now universally used today.
