Chapter 8 Exercise 5

5. Briefly explain how a touch-based menu would be different from a mouse-based menu.

The two biggest differences between touch and mouse controls are that touch items need to be larger, and mouse options have a "hover" state. This state is often used to display tooltips or other hints about the capabilities or status of the menu item. Mouse-based entries also often separate right-click and left-click actions, which is harder to do with touch.
