If you have a wall-sized touch screen computer you can cover yourself with butter and fling yourself at the tiles rather than use a mouse. Insane, yes. Just use unsalted butter.

Well the best usage would be a small pad with touch screen for your wall size computer in anyway. It is not hard to see that "remote controllers" will look a lot like iPads and other pad devices we have today! Why have buttons when you can mirrow the same screen to you wall and to your remote controller pad? We allready have TV sets that can be controlled with pad computers. So not a big deal to have relative "stupid" pad devises with every telly and even with every computer.

Only casual content consumers would find this plausible. Any real content CREATOR would just laugh. You can't do accurate work with a touch screen, fingers are too big and they are not changing size anytime soon.
