Touch and see?

Do you see with your fingers? You may think that`s a ridiculous question, but I`ve been intrigued at an event I`ve been to this week, by the way in which people - yes adults, not just children - when viewing displays cannot seem content to just do as they are meant and expected to do, and that is look with their eyes and take in what is before them in that way. Why, oh why do they want to touch? Even delicate flowers seem to draw their fingers to get hold of the petals, but why? - they can see the colour, the shape and texture with their eyes.
Maybe, its because I was brought up to look and not touch, that it both intrigues and annoys me to see others doing this. It`s annoying because it seems to show a lack of respect for someone elses work or property. So, why do people do it?
