In early 2010, Leslie Fiering, a Vice President in the Mobile and Client Computing team at Gartner, said that, "What we're going to see is the younger generation beginning to use touchscreen computers ahead of enterprise."

Nowadays, this is very much evident in public areas like malls, wherein many of the pollution are into using touch screen devices. From large screen devices like IPad and Android tablets, to mobile phones which used to be just for SMS and calling, now for variety of purpose, the rampant use of touch screen type of device, especially by younger generation, is a strong indicator that touch technology to displace the wimp interface.
To be able to select a function in the desktop while working on a document processor application such as MS Word, it has been important to have the skills on clicking an icon or simply doing a left click on mouse. Double-clicking and doing a right-click on the mouse for more options to choose for an icon selected, have also been widely accepted. Mouse design even improved from two buttons to about five including the scroll button, to accommodate the need for greater speed on maneuvering in the desktop. However, Apple introduced the single button device (home button) in their products, in partner with the touch screen feature, which has gained high approval from many users. This innovation, had a high impact on diversifying the way to interact with computer devices, intuitive designs or features that predicts next move is rapidly being developed.
“The ‘muscle memory’ of mouse users and the potential problems of moving a user's hands from the keyboard to the mouse will create particular adoption barriers for knowledge workers,” says Gartner. Indeed, as younger generation will continuously finds touching rather than pointing, a more convenient way in interacting with the device, the demand to continuously improve touch-screen technology will persist until such time it would be a standard of computing.
