Good piece on the shift from click to tap but what about swipe? 'The future of web design'

From livingdesign.info - I think Amy Casey is the author:

"So what’s it about?

"Here I would define the two categories I mentioned above:

Clicks – conventional web design on PCs where interaction is achieved with cursor movement (rollover/rollout) and on mouse press or release

Taps – web design for multi-touch gesture browsing on handheld devices such as:
Smartphones – iPhone, Palm Pre, HTC HD2, Else Intuition, Nokia N900 etc, and

Tablets – well, this is the redefined tablet category that iPad created. This category is ‘now’ about devices that fall in-between a Smartphone and a laptop computer such as iPad, and all the iPad-killer devices such as joojoo, WeTab, HP Slate, Google Tablet and a dozen more here."
