Imagine you have a big piece of glass that can feel when your finger touches it, that's like a touchscreen! Instead of using buttons or typing on a keyboard, you just tap and slide your finger across the screen. It feels more natural because we use our hands every day to touch things, so using them to control devices makes sense!
Examples
- You swipe across a tablet to turn the page of an e-book.
- Your finger pinches a map on your smartphone to zoom in.
