The resulting resistive technology touch screen was first shown on the World's Fair at Knoxville in 1982. [20] 1982 MULTI-TOUCH CAMERA - Multi-touch technology began in 1982, when the University of Toronto's Input Research Group developed the first human-input multi-touch system, using a frosted-glass panel with a camera placed behind the glass.
Discovery Channel – "How We Invented the World": Frank Beck and Bent Stumpe describe the touch-screen as developed at CERN, and how their device has become part of everyday life. (Accessed 2/7/20) Dr Beck's autobiography, "Grandpa's Book" Dr Beck describes his early life as a refugee.
RAND Tablet invented. [94] [95] The RAND Tablet is better known than the Styalator, but was invented later. 1961 Stanislaw Lem describes an Opton, a portable device with a screen "linked directly, through electronic catalogs, to templates of every book on earth" in the 1961 novel "Return from the Stars". 1966
In January 2007, multi-touch technology became mainstream with the iPhone, and in its iPhone announcement Apple even stated it "invented multi touch", [41] however both the function and the term predate the announcement or patent requests, except for the area of capacitive mobile screens, which did not exist before Fingerworks/Apple's ...
In 1970, Amos E. Joel, Jr., a Bell Labs engineer, [22] invented a "three-sided trunk circuit" to aid in the "call handoff" process from one cell to another. His patent contained an early description of the Bell Labs cellular concept, but as switching systems became faster, such a circuit became unnecessary and was never implemented in a system.
CEO of Verizon Media Guru Gowrappan speaks onstage during The 2020 MAKERS Conference at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown in February 2020.
Resistive touchscreen technology works well with almost any stylus-like object, and can also be operated with gloved fingers and bare fingers alike. In some circumstances, this is more desirable than a capacitive touchscreen, which needs a capacitive pointer, such as a bare finger (though some capacitive sensors can detect gloves and some gloves can work with all capacitive screens).
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
