Hmmmm. By one estimate, there were more than 2.5 billion smartphones in use
last year (and more today, of course), all with touchscreens. If each
screen is used just for a few minutes a day, the total usage-years is in
the hundreds of millions.

Touchscreen-equipped devices, including phones and tablets, are among the
most widely-used consumer electronic devices of all time. If there is some
undiscovered flaw in the concept of a touchscreen, it hasn't shown up so
far.
