When do you think we will all start using multi-touch screens?

    When do you think the regular everyday consumer will be able to get multi-touch screens for their computers?

    I think it'll be a good 10 to 15 years. But it will probably be much longer until game and application developers come out with new interfaces for their software.

    it won't be that long...i would say in about 3-4 years A LOT of people will use the touch screens, only the ones not techy or not interested in technology won't use it

    In about 10 years, multi-touch screens will be very popular. But I think the use of traditional ones won't be gone.

    Amen to that!

    What would be really cool are games like starcraft that can use multitouch interfaces..... hmmm starcraft 2 with that kinda interface would be really nice.
