Research is being done to make any surface a touch screen. This is a big advancement in technology today, seeing that so much of current technology is dependent on the touch screen. Being able to make any surface one that can be used for the communication that comes with touch screen technology would greatly increase the amount of virtual contact that we can have with one another.
While I personally don't see why it would be an improvement to be able to make my shirt a touch screen, I do recognize that this technology would release us from the limits of a physical, stationary type of screen. We can make the world around us can be digital like we have never imagined, and all it takes is a couple of wires. That is, it takes a couple of wires at this point. The research teams are working on making this technology small enough to fit in a chip. This technology is in the beginning stages, or at least, this application for the technology is in its beginning stages.
