TouchEvent
A TouchEvent represents an event sent when the state of contacts with a touch-sensitive surface changes. This surface can be a touch screen or trackpad, for example. The event can describe one or more points of contact with the screen and includes support for detecting movement, addition and removal of contact points, and so forth.
Touches are represented by the Touch object; each touch is described by a position, size and shape, amount of pressure, and target element. Lists of touches are represented by TouchList objects.

Concrete methods
A TouchList of all the Touch objects representing individual points of contact whose states changed between the previous touch event and this one. Read only.

The target of the touches associated with this event. This target corresponds to the target of all the touches in the targetTouches attribute, but note that other touches in this event may have a different target. To be careful, you should use the target associated with individual touches.
