New To The Touch: Q1: What Problems Does Multi-Touch Technology Solve?

Multi-touch technology solves problems with traditional computer interfaces by allowing intuitive touch gestures instead of mouse clicks and commands. It streamlines tasks like scrolling and zooming by using natural finger motions. While multi-touch interfaces are more versatile and easier to use than single-touch, they can be more expensive and inconvenient for tasks like drawing. However, multi-touch would benefit several business applications such as ATMs, e-readers, and construction estimating software by facilitating smoother transactions, a more engaging reading experience, and more efficient quoting.
