"Human Touch" is pleasant enough, and certainly easy to listen to, but it is not the kind of record Springsteen had conditioned his audience to expect, and it ends up being an uninspired album, his first that didn't at least aspire to greatness.
Human Touch has five great songs, the title track (my favourite Springsteen song), Soul Driver, With Every Wish, All Or Nothing At All and I Wish I Was Blind plus quite a few good ones.
Human Touch is ultimately a poor relative of its sister record Lucky Town, one of Springsteen's best albums that was released on the same day.

 Rolling Stone : Human Touch : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Human Touch (begun in 1989, completed in early 1991) and Lucky Town (recorded in a two-month burst shortly after Human Touch) describe the effort of building a realistic life after the code has been shattered, in Springsteen's case by an affair and a divorce.
At first the moves are tentative, motivated more by loneliness – a need for "a little of that human touch" – than by love's golden promise or, even more remote, the prospect of actual lasting happiness with another human being.
Aptly, the introspective, self-questioning mood of Human Touch shifts near its midpoint with "Roll of the Dice," the most generic-sounding Springsteen rocker – glockenspiel and all – on either of these albums.

 Healing Human Touch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Touch and touching are vital healing parts of human experience which are often overlooked.
Men, seemingly more than women, have been adversely affected by the cultural prohibition against touch, particularly the prohibition against touching another man. It is a significant growth experience for many men to finally find the courage to hug another man for the first time, discovering that there can be emotional caring without sexual feelings.
One of the many reasons why the crime of sexual abuse occurs so often is that adult perpetrators are trying to compensate for lack of childhood or present-day human touch.

Yet we tend to think of “human touch” marketing as an art rather than a science.

 The Human Touch by LOWELL MONKE- Education Next - Fall 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
But this completely misses the deeper significance of this great American migration, which lies not in the computational capabilities of the pioneers but in their determination, courage, ingenuity, and faith as they overcame extreme conditions and their almost constant miscalculations.
Because the computer cannot traffic in these deeply human qualities, the resilient souls of the pioneers are absent from the simulation.
Schools that see their job as preparing young people to meet the demands of a technology-driven world merely embrace and advance the idea that human needs are no longer our highest priority, that we must adapt to meet the demands of our machines.

 Touch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article or section has been tagged since November 2005.
In medicine, the colloquial term "touch" is usually replaced with somatic senses, to better reflect the variety of mechanisms involved.
Touching is also integral in physical abuse (striking, pushing, pulling, pinching, kicking, strangling, etc.) and hand-to-hand fighting.In a sentence like "I never touched him/her" and "Don't you dare to touch him/her" the term touch may be meant as euphemism for either physical abuse or sexual touching.

Hertz's eyes have video cameras, enabling it to gaze at a human face and follow you around, provided you don't move too quickly or beyond its limited field of vision.
But if a robot is made to look very realistic but somehow isn't quite right (it has an odd smile, or it doesn't blink, for example) it seems grotesque instead of comforting.
"If a robot has a face that is not human, then we are more accepting of less-than-human behavior, as we would with an animal or doll," he said.

 Rice with a Human Touch: Engineered grain uses gene from people to protect against herbicides: Science News Online, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
A human gene that Japanese researchers have inserted into rice enables the plant to break down a portfolio of chemicals now used on farms to kill weeds.
Some scientists, however, are concerned that weeds growing with the rice could eventually acquire the human gene and become herbicide-resistant superweeds.
They found that the engineered and traditional plants grew similarly in the presence of any of 4 herbicides and that the engineered plants were healthier in tests of 13 other herbicides, including one called metolachlor.
