True or False Statements

Question

1) A touchscreen is a touch-sensitive device layered on top of a display.

2) A capacitive touchscreen can be used effectively with a finger, pen, stick, and many other common household objects.

3) A resistive touchscreen can be used effectively with a finger, pen, stick, and many other common household objects.

4) A stylus is a special physical pointer designed to work with touchscreens.

5) Touchscreens are convenient for fast typing.

Answer 1

1. True - A touchscreen is indeed a touch-sensitive device layered on top of a display to detect touch input.

2. False - A capacitive touchscreen primarily works with the electrical properties of the human finger. While certain styluses designed for capacitive touchscreens can be used, they may not work effectively with other common household objects.

3. True - A resistive touchscreen is pressure-sensitive and can be used effectively with a finger, pen, stick, and many other common household objects as it detects touch through pressure.

4. True - A stylus is designed specifically to interact with touchscreens, often providing more precision than a finger.

5. False - While touchscreens can allow for typing, they are generally less convenient for fast typing compared to physical keyboards, as they lack tactile feedback.
