A touch pad? You mean, sort of like a mouse device as mice are designed for

No. Sorta like the touch interface for my LG TV that is part of the app for my
iPAD.

Mice and touch pads/touch screens are all pointing devices, but much different
in actual use. But more important to this discussion is the difference in the
design of the user interfaces in windowing systems with pull down menus, versus
the more intuitive pointing employed in tablets and smartphones.
