  his basement when he stumbled upon a skeleton.

  The inspiration struck during a backpacking trip in northern Thailand, where he lost his

  glasses.

  Upon returning to Wharton Business School in 2008, Gilbo discovered replacing them would

  The era of touch screens may be winding down as companies rediscover the appeal of physical

  controls.

  After nearly two decades of pushing touchable displays, product designers are reintroducing

  It extends to e-readers and induction stoves.
