Kubuchwepheshe banamuhla abathuthuka ngokushesha, imikhiqizo yokuthinta iba yingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yezimpilo zethu. Ukusuka emcabangweni wenoveli ekuqaleni kokuthandwa kwawo kwamanje, imikhiqizo yokuthinta iye yathuthukisa inqubo yokuthuthuka.
Umsuka we-Touch Technology ubuchwepheshe angalandelelwa emuva ngawo-1960s. Ngaleso sikhathi, unjiniyela waseMelika uJohnson wasungula idivaysi yesikrini sokuqala sokuthinta emhlabeni, esabeka isisekelo sokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bokuthinta ngokuzayo. Kodwa-ke, ubuchwepheshe bokuqala bokuthintana busebuhlubuki obukhulu, ngokunemba okuphansi, ijubane lokuphendula kancane, kanye nezindleko eziphakeme, futhi kungafakwa kuphela kwinani elilinganiselwe lezinkambu zezimboni ezithile.
Ngawo-1980s, ngokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bekhompyutha, ubuchwepheshe bokuthinta buphinde basebenza ngokuphumelela. Ukuvela kwezikrini zokumelana zokumelana kukhulise kancane kancane ibanga lesicelo sezikrini zokuthinta. Lesi sikrini sokuthinta sisebenza ngokuzwela kwengcindezelo, futhi abasebenzisi kudingeka bathenge kalula isikrini ngeminwe noma i-stylus ukuqedela okokufaka komyalo okulula. Izindleko zezikrini zokumelana zokumelana ziphansi, ngakho-ke zisetshenziswe kabanzi kwezinye izindawo zemibuzo yombuzo womphakathi, ama-elekthronikhi we-elekthronikhi, namanye amadivayisi.
Ukungena ngekhulu lama-21, ukuzalwa kwezikrini zokuthinta kweCapacive kushintshe ngokuphelele ukuqonda kwabantu ngemikhiqizo yokuthinta. I-iPhone yethulwe yi-Apple adomeka ubuchwepheshe be-multi touch capacide Touch Technology, evumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bazuze isipiliyoni sokusebenzisana kwabantu ngokwezemvelo sabantu ngokuslayida ngomunwe, ukusondeza kanye nokunye ukusebenza. Lo mklamo omusha uvuse inguquko ye-smartphone yomhlaba, futhi imikhiqizo yokuthinta selokhu yafaka izigidi zamakhaya.
Ngokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kobuchwepheshe, amasimu wohlelo lokusebenza wemikhiqizo yokuxhumana nawo akhula njalo. Ngaphezu kwama-Smartphones kanye namathebulethi, ubuchwepheshe bokuthinta futhi busetshenziswa kabanzi kumadivayisi afana nama-smartwatches, ezinhlelweni zolwazi lwemoto, namaphaneli wokulawula ekhaya ahlakaniphile. Ngasikhathi sinye, ubuchwepheshe obusha bokuthinta obunjenge-infrared touch kanye ne-sonic touch bavela njalo, beletha abasebenzisi izinqumo ezihlukahlukene.
Uma sibheka emuva emlandweni wokuthuthuka kwemikhiqizo yokuthinta, siyabona ukuthi amandla obuchwepheshe angenamkhawulo. Ukusuka kokusungulwa kwelebhu ekuqaleni kokuba khona kwabo okubabazekayo namuhla, imikhiqizo yokuthinta ayizange iguqule indlela yethu yempilo, kodwa futhi inikeze amathuba angenamkhawulo wokuqamba kwezobuchwepheshe okuzayo. Esikhathini esizayo, sinesizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bokuthinta buzoqhubeka nokuvela, ukulethe okuhlangenwe nakho okulula, okuqondayo nokuhlangene. Mhlawumbe maduze nje, ngokuthinta nje okumnene, sizokwazi ukuvula izwe elisha lonke.
