Yet touch-screen monitors are still with us, and after almost 50 years are ubiquitous in the retail, professional, and restaurant sectors. Multi-touch technology has been developed since the early 1980s, but it took Apple to make it an experience gratifying enough to tickle the fancy of the masses.
The result is the iPhone, which has taken over 50% of the smartphone market with just one model that gets a face lift now and then, and Apple now controls 95% of worldwide smartphone software sales as well
What Apple always brings to the table is usability, and the public rewards them for that. I'll say it again, the advantage is the interface: no keyboard, mouse or trackpad. Those who do not get used to it will eventually die off
