AlenK Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Off topic but a fine example of Casio's ability to innovate. This was a digital calculator watch from 1984 (!) that had a capacitive touchscreen. To do a calculation you wrote the individual characters of the equation on the screen with a finger-tip. For example to add 8 and 4 you wrote "8" then "+" then "4"" then "=" and it displayed the answer. The retail price was $100.
