Touch Screen Technology

Nintendo has dominated the console market with their first handheld gaming device called Gameboy, having sold over 150 million units, and continuing to create more handheld ones. Games have also become easily accessible on smart phones, following the trend of portability. According to research conducted by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), 43% of gamers play games on their smartphones, and 25% play on a wireless device. Video game consoles have drastically improved since the 1970s, having become lighter, faster, and more interactive. All of these improvements were made possible by the advancements in hardware.

The birth of Nintendo dates back over 100 years ago and originally made only Japanese playing cards. This paper will explore how Nintendo started out as a playing card company and became one of the biggest gaming corporations that are alive today. It will also explore the success and failures of the company and how it achieved the status it has today. We will discuss the technology of gaming and how it evolved over time.

As earlier stated, Nintendo excels in innovation. The company distinguishes itself from competitors by heavily investing in research and development (R&D) and by taking risks on new technologies. For example, in 2001 Nintendo released its GameCube. Instead of using the CD platform used by Sony, Sega, and Microsoft in their sixth-generation consoles, Nintendo utilized a proprietary optical disk technology that was visually similar to CDs but did not not work in standard CD players (“Nintendo Wii,” n.d.). Genyo Takeda, Nintendo’s general manager of Integrated Research and Development, explained that Nintendo’s success in innovation was the result of many groups of developers having free reign to invent, even if their inventions were

For centuries, the human being has had this eagerness to discover and improve life, as we know it. The XXI century has been characterized as the appearance of technological breakthroughs such as smart phones, digital books, GPS, and others. The tablet PC, being one of those items for they are portable, not as expensive as a laptop but have the same features and are lightweight, is gaining increasing popularity in various areas of human activity, including education. As tablet PCs enter educational setting, it is important to consider the advantages as well as the disadvantages of using these devices and the new educational possibilities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of tablet computers in academic purposes and answer the one question

to do so many electronic things without never leaving our desk,homes or office.With just the touch

Generally, there are two key forms of monitor interfaces that should be highly considered in the process of designing different computer applications namely the multi-touch screen interface and the mouse-driven interface. The controlling actions that are carried out by different computer users tend to have different preferences when it comes to the use of different computer applications uses (Dearden, 2008). As such, the application of the multi-touch screen gives computer users an opportunity to interact with the computer applications via a touch screen that will give them a chance to tap, swipe, long tap, and pinch the screens for purposes of performing their required

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 1860’s, people have rapidly improved people’s lives with technology. The first generations of computers started the base of computers and their system. These generations were influenced by inventers like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniok facilitated the computers, tablets, and smart phone we use today. With tablets and smart phone being so accessible it is no surprise that computers are not as popular as they used to. Many people would prefer to have an item that can fit in their back pocket or bag, instead of having to carry a big, space consuming item. They would rather have a hand held tablet and can fit almost any where somebody needs it to. Everywhere there is technology;

Technologies such as an IPad and other touch screen devices allow the student encouragement for a successful day-to-day interaction and communication with others.

Our Smartphones are touchscreen and we are used to touchscreen tablets so now is the time for touchscreen laptops. One advantage these laptops are having is the Keyboard on which most of the computer functions are dependent. The machine on which you can ‘Touch’ or ‘Type’.

This article discuss about the prototyping that utilizes paper and mobile technology. It describe an idea of translating paper prototype system into a digital execution. You draw a paper prototype, take high-quality pictures of each prototype, edit the images, and organize them into the task scenarios. Paper prototypes provides a “quick means for testing basic interactivity that may be essential for specific design decision” (Bolchini 31).

Social media is the main culprit for so called “touch generation”. Everything you need is to touch, swipe and manifest through the magical fingers. You need friends? Add them in facebook, you need recipes to cook? Watch it on Youtube. You hungry? Use McDo app and lot of things that made each single activity with the touch of technological advancement. With this manifestation of being instant at the same time of the touch technology, online shops are everywhere from shoes, apparels and even jewelries. You could be able to buy those things just lifting your fingers even at your bed.

The role of technology is vital in this industry as it focuses on technological efforts for competitive advantage. Every new development uses new technology. Though there are restricted innovations in the gaming industry, the speed of technological transfer is very high. Nintendo’s role from playing cards to toys to video games and then with each console introduced, included many technological changes. Technological up gradation increased hardware costs and discouraged innovation. The online capability of Nintendo Wii was a major change in the technology of the video game industry though they were not able to do as well as their competitors (Sony, Microsoft).

Nintendo, when it was created, it became one of the most important video game companies in the world but, little by little it lost importance after the competition boom. The growing use of smartphones and tablets for gaming threatens the market for consoles specifically meant for gaming. The convenience and utility of having one product, like a smartphone or tablet, rather than multiple devices for different uses gives the smartphone an advantage.

Technologies are getting more and more advanced day by day, as if we would never know what technologies will become by the next day morning, it grow fast and it keeps on changing. We could not deny that today’s technology changes our world and our way of living, most of the new devices that are invented are replacing the old ones, just as those phones with a physical keypad design are replaced with our new touch screen smart phone today, these changes occur rapidly. In this technology leading world, have you ever wondered, what are the next incredible devices will be invent? In this research report, I am going to introduce you, a brand new technology that were recently invented by Google, a device which is yet
