Whenever a self-checkout machine, a ticket machine or something wasn't responding I always assumed it was a computing latency issue of devices being old. But it makes sense now that with devices based on the resistive version, I wasn't just imagining that it worked better if I pressed a little harder, it needs to be pressed! Thank you so much for this explaination!

    what amazes me is the terrifying speed this process is done. your phone has to do the math on the voltages of every single node every moment, and then react to it in milliseconds when there is an anomaly. in a time period we humans would call "instantly"

    • @matthewtorres7781
      @matthewtorres7781 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      the coding and design does make it a little simpler. think instead of one processor monitoring hundreds of nodes, think of each node as doing one job, with one set parameter. if one node gets a voltage above or below that parameter (depending on if your finger decreases or increases voltage, it didnt say in the vid) then that voltage change is applied to the grid. the processor doesnt have to do the math for voltage on each node, just mainly the math to pinpoint where the electrical impulses are coming from on the grid

    I'd say the distinction between resistive and capacitive touchscreens is what brought Nokia down and what launched iPhone to the top.
    Nokia (and other manufacturers, for that matter) had touchscreen phones before Apple, but the clumsier resistive-screen kind. The responsiveness of the capacitive screen also encouraged Apple to ditch the manual keyboard and enlarge the screen.

    Some capacitive touch screens are so sensitive that you don't even have to actually touch the screen but just get REALLY close to it. And resistive touch screens are definitely very durable. The control screen on the CNC machine at work is used constantly all day long and has never been replaced even though it's been in use for about 20 years. It's scratched and blurry, yes, but works just fine!

    Thank you TedEd for making learning fun and accessible! I probably would never have delved into functioning of touch screens otherwise. Love how this channel helps keep geeking about random topic relevant!!!

    What about tempered glass protector? does that create another circuit ontop of the protector or is it electrical proximity that allows the input to function.

    • @23Shadowfox23
      @23Shadowfox23 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are correct with your last guess :)
      The applied screen protector can be seen as a thicker phone glass - on top of the 'grid'. If you change the responsiveness of your touchscreen you it could be that the distance is too high for light touches and it stops working

    I'm still amazed at how Apple pushed forward with such a seamless touchscreen when I remember as touch screens beforehand often needed you to push really hard in because of a thick protective plastic layer.

      ​@@AntTonyLOLKID Apple is just a money-making machine, not anything super tech, intuitive, special. Really just some good salesman managed to wrap up things to brainwash people to buy (: If you are a real tech person, codder, any sort of enthusiast, but also the simple user who wants a good thing, you will never get Apple - ultra closed money making systems.

I liked Apple when Steve Jobs was still alive, and Apple genuinely pushed technology forward (the iPhone pushed forward smartphones as a norm). I totally agree Apple now is a cash grabbing machine now, but I am happy to use Apple products, but won't be purchasing any unless it fits my needs and wont be spending time with the "Genius" Bar staff, so dnt judge a book by its cover.

    I often wonder what it would be like if we were sent back in time with some advanced technology, like a smartphone, and people in the past would ask us how it works, only for us to tell them we have no clue, and then they judge us super hard 😂 It's good to learn about the things we use so often!
