Whomever decided that holding your arm out to touch a screen for hours a day was a good idea obviously never tried it.
My laptop back then had a touch screen which was useful when I folded it into tablet mode but then I had a rather heavy tablet with no other redeeming virtues.

I agree that a touch screen is impractical when it comes to a computer monitor. I have a touchscreen on my computer, but I use it so little that I didn't notice that it was a touchscreen at first. It could be because I'm an old computer user but when it comes to computer work I prefer to use a mouse and keyboard rather than a touch screen. To me, touch screens are for portable devices with non-large screens where a keyboard is not practical.
