Did touch screens really exist back then?


Maybe it's been asked before. In that case excuse me.

It's not exactly new technology at the time unless you live in a 3rd world country like india or countries in africa. Heck this film didn't even tried to futurise itself. The tech just existed at that time.

A ship sank at the end of the movie Titanic!

speaking of something in a movie years before its time, I was watching Cujo which is 1983 and there is a big flat screen tv in one scene.

I had a data entry job around that time, and instead of a mouse there was a sort of pen that I had to use on the screen to do everything. It was a real pain in the ass.

This sort of question is why millennials don’t believe we went to the moon. They can’t accept that technology existed before them. Wait till you find out the internet existed in the 1960’s,
