Research Journal Entry 10 A New Kind of Desktop

We may use computers at home, at work, at school, in banks, etc. Most of computers we use now are pretty much all the same. We may use a mouse to point at and click on files and programs. Recently, Microsoft released a new approach different from the old system. We call it the Surface.
To operate Surface, no mouse or keyboard is needed. Instead, we control all the files by touching it. In this way, the Surface lets your finger paint on the screen or use your fingers to move around. The Surface also has the interaction with the objects place on top of it.
This new interface is still expensive now, and it was mostly only used in businesses like restaurants and hotels at the end of 2007. As the price comes down, the new machine will become available for home users. Then I will be eager to have one.
