What Is Tap (Digital Input Method)?
Taps are the new clicks. Do read as this info will have you clicking. If you're a millennial, you need to remember what clicking was like. You've grown up with taps, a quick tap here, a double tap there, and now you think nothing of it. You assume that everyone is as used to tapping their screens as you are. But when it comes to older generations, they're still clinging to their clicks. So clicks are old-fashioned and clunky, and if we're going to progress in this world, we need to move away from them. Clicks are for older people who don't want to learn anything new. They're for people who think computers should be used only for word processing and playing Solitaire (and maybe for watching cat videos). A tap on a display screen may be used to open applications or select menu options or different modes of operation. Operating systems (OSs) and applications are carefully designed to recognize the limitations of the finger or stylus and the limitations of a small display area. For example, if you were using an application that required you to type in numbers, a tap on a number key would automatically select that key and place it in focus on the screen. The user could then type in the number and press Enter to submit it for processing by whatever program was running behind the scenes. So taps? Taps are for people who want more from their devices than just basic functionality. Taps are for people who want a device that can do more than just one thing at once! Taps are for people who want a device that can help them multitask! And that's why we're bringing taps into the future; they'll help us get there faster!
