The Many Uses of Touch Screen Monitors

The iPhone introduced by Apple, Inc., uses touchscreen technology allowing the user to easily and quickly manipulate data. The iPod touch was introduced shortly thereafter which utilizes the same technology. Touch screen monitors have been available for quite sometime, but only recently have they become popular due to Apple's intuitive design and attention to detail in their operating system. Due to this explosion in touch screen handhelds, many people wonder if they have the same experience on their computer like an iPhone or iPod touch and what purposes touch screen monitors have.

Touch screen monitors can be used for many useful purposes. There is a huge variety of sizes and types available today. Most modern monitors will work with Windows XP and Vista with appropriate drivers to enable the computer in interpreting touching a monitor as mouse movements. They can also work with other operating systems like Macintosh and Linux as long as the manufacturer provides necessary drivers.

One popular use of touchscreen monitors is what's called a "carputer" (a mesh of car and computer). These devices are installed in cars to enhance the multimedia experience and provide additional functionality that an ordinary car stereo wouldn't be able to provide. Watching movies, viewing music albums, or surfing the internet easily becomes a possibility with a touch screen monitor installed in place of a car stereo.

Another way touch screen monitors are used is with the retail or food industry. Having a touchscreen to quickly take orders, receive payments, or view merchandise not only saves valuable desk space, but provides an intuitive interface for employees and customers. Recently flat panel touchscreen monitors have replaced CRT or larger displays saving even more space.

Touchscreen monitors do have their limitations. The contrast on these monitors is not as good as their regular monitor counterpart. This is because of the various touch sensors that need to be included in a touch screen monitor to simulate a mouse. Another setback is the cost. Touch screen monitors generally cost quite bit more than regular monitors because of the additional built-in sensors.

Even with these minor setbacks, touch screen monitors are becoming popular with consumers. As the demand increases, the cost will go down and the technology will improve to the point where every monitor could be a touch screen.

Broadband TV a World of Choice

Broadband television is a means of providing TV programs via the Internet. It is possible to view live terrestrial television channels, but it is more practical to us it to see programs that have already been transmitted, so avoiding the need to set your video recorder. To get Broadband T V you need a broadband connection and a computer or special set-top box.

Broadband Television is being hailed as the biggest change in the way we watch television since it was first invented. Over the coming years broadband television is expected to completely change home entertainment, it will allow viewers a vast choice from all over the world not just the programs they watch but how they watch them.

Broadband television has only become practical because of the huge growth of high-speed Internet connections. More than 50% of all connections to the Web now make use of broadband. Today's standard bandwidth of 2 MB would give an adequate service, but television industry experts say 8 to 10 MB is the minimum needed for a full broadband TV service.

There are two main types of service that are being developed, standard television channels that will replace the traditional services we have today, and video on demand, where views can choose programs from the service providers archives. Perhaps this will cut down on the level of repeats that are shown at present.

Apart from the need for greater bandwidth, the greatest stumbling block for broadband TV is thought to be the big film companies, the big studios seem to be reluctant to provide films and shows because they have concerns that it may affect revenues from DVD and foreign sales.

The major benefits of Broadband TV will be a much greater choice of programs, the possibility of more interactive services, potentially viewers will be able to direct their own programs choosing the camera angles etc that they want, and it will also enable people to make and transmit their own programs so opening up the possibility of local community television.
