What are Touch Screens?

Touch Screens are display overlays which have the ability to display and receive information on the same screen. The effect of such overlays allows a display to be used as an input device, removing the keyboard and/or the mouse as the primary input device for interacting with the display's content. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. Touch Screens also have assisted in recent changes in the PDA and Cell-Phone Industries, making these devices more usable.

Is a Touch Screen a membrane switch?
