If anyone wants me I’m busy! The love for ET 1602 continues we have been having fun together although I still find at times I revert to the mouse I think that’s out of habit. I have had some questions comments on previous blogs which I shall address here.
The touch screen, yes it does collect finger prints but after years of screeching “Don’t touch the screen!”when anyone is anywhere near the screen, cleaning it is easy and the screen isn’t as finger printed as much as I expected.
I am finding it’s better to know this screen is made to be touched. When it first arrived I did think it looks lovely now but will soon look grubby, it is so very white! It has been subjected to many hands over its first few weeks and it doesn’t seem to have suffered , when the sun shines on the screen I have noticed a few marks but it doesn’t impede it’s function and I think I’d prefer to have an occasional sticky screen and touchy feely ability.
I was out shopping and happened to browse through the computers out of habit, they all seemed so ordinary and boring all I wanted to do was tap the screen; I think this encounter with ET may have changed my life.
ET features again in the latest video in more ways than one, the use of the screen with some programmes seems a little clumsy at times without the stylus pen, I guess that’s why it has a pen and I may have to admit to my chunky fingers.
Above all I am enjoying the experimental nature of the touch screen with more hands on online sites, there is an attempt at finger printing which I think Tony Hart would have included in his gallery.
I was also speculating if this holds a futuristic art, I like the more contemporary canvases but am loathed to look at the same one each day, what I need is a huge touch screen and I’ll draw my own each day as I work past.
Back to filming, as tempted as I was I didn’t film my online shop, as fascinating as it would be I was planning too, in truth I got too distracted and missing the cut off time for next day delivery so had to venture out instead, maybe next time you can be enthralled with my tapping of how many bananas I require.
