Touch-screen hazards

These days almost everything needs to be touched to start working!

Be it the ATMS, billing counter at the malls, the mobiles, laptops, cameras, tea/coffee machines, portable media players, games and what not. Everyone also knows that our fingers, particularly when we are out of our homes are unclean and are germs infested. Every new thing created these days involve touch screen usage and hence everyone is spreading dangerous germs and viruses around since they all have to use touch screens almost everywhere during the course of the day. Children are spending more and more time playing indoors, using touch screens.

It is reported that the ATMs are even more germ infested than public toilet seats!

It should be now everybody’s concern: How to manage this serious hazard of possible world-wide increase in the contagious diseases like TB and other infections being spread by the unclean and ubiquitous touch screens? Is there a way out?
