Who is MIT Media Labs, and why is it important?.

> Google says the invented the touch screen, and they modeled the future.

MIT Media Labs. Founded in 1985.

But who invented the touch screen?

> A resistive touchscreen was developed by American inventor George Samuel Hurst, who received US patent №3,911,215 on October 7, 1975. The first version was produced in 1982.

Now again, who is MIT Media Labs, and why is it important? Indeed it is not about touch screen; they didn’t invent it, maybe the added some features but they are not the inventors or who modeled the future.
