Touchscreens have permeated our modern world to a large extent. From airplane seat backs to our favorite handheld devices, these touchable pieces of glass and plastic open up a whole new world of futuristic navigation where buttons are a thing of the past. In the early days of touchscreens, before capacitive touchscreens entered the consumer market, resistive touchscreens relied on precise mechanical pressure for successful contact. Thus was born the touch screen pen, most famously the stylus. A stylus is a pen-shaped instrument designed for use with touchscreens. The tip of a stylus, usually made of conductive rubber or capacitive hard plastic, is a slimmer, more precise alternative to a fingertip.
