hey everyone Daniel Webster here from padma.com and about a week ago I actually picked up a one terabyte hard drive and of course all sensitive electronic equipment is encased in these anti-static films which is just like this and the one thing that I never noticed is that you can actually use these anti-static films as a rudimentary stylus so I discovered this today while fooling around with my device so this works with capacitive touchscreens because the anti-static film actually creates its own electricity just like your finger so as you can see I can use my finger to scroll up and down but I can also create a stylus out of this anti-static film okay so I've rolled my anti-static film into some sort of cylindrical shape kind of like a stylus and a couple of months ago or so Brandon actually showed how you can get these capacitive stylus is on eBay for a few bucks but why spend any money at all we can probably just create your own for free so as you can see it does work pretty well as a stylus I can scroll up and down I can go to my Start menu here if I want to look at my photos just click on there and as you can see I'm not touching it with my fingers at all but I'm going to show you how it did multi-touch works okay so with the image loaded I can actually use the stylus and my finger to zoom in and zoom out as you can see it works pretty well I can also double tap and go back and it works pretty well as a stylus surprisingly so if you're ever in a situation where you need to wear gloves and also operate your device like if you were skiing or snowboarding why not just whip out a piece of anti-static film and create your own stylus out of pretty much nothing okay so there you have it just a quick and cheap way to create a stylus from a piece of anti-static film of course maybe in the future someone create could create a screen protector that you could actually use a pen on because I've noticed that you can scroll sometimes with a pen if you use this anti-static film so anyways thanks for watching
