Multi-touch

Multitouch is like playing with a big tablet computer where you use your fingers to do more than one thing at the same time!

Imagine you have a table that has a screen on top of it. If you want to look at a picture, you can touch the screen with one finger and move it around to see different parts of the picture. If you want to make the picture bigger or smaller, you can use two fingers and pinch them together or spread them apart.

You can also use your fingers to do more than one thing at the same time. For example, if you want to draw a picture with your finger, you can put one finger on the screen to draw with and use another finger to change the color of the drawing.

So, multi-touch is basically using more than one finger on a screen to do different things at the same time!
