The History Source on Instagram: "Did you know touch screen technology existed as early as the early 80s? While the earliest prototypes date back to the mid 1960s the first consumer touch screens came out in the 80s, as this 1982 clip demonstrates. But due to the limits of the tech, they had a bad reputation for being imprecise. However the technology continued to be implemented in consumer electronics, leading to wide scale adaption with the release of the iPhone in the late 2000s. #history #80
