translate English to German: Touchscreens have become commonplace since the invention of the electronic touch interface in 1971 by Dr. Samuel C. Hurst. They have become familiar in retail settings, on point of sale systems, on ATM s and on PDAs where a stylus is sometimes used to manipulate the GUI and to enter data.
In neueren, modernen Autos werden immer öfter Multifunktionsdisplays als Touchscreen ausgelegt.
