Instead of an arrow to the knee, perhaps one to a monitor/monitor grid that causes the touch even to fire ;)/> Would be cool for shooting galleries etc etc etc.

Sure, why not?
Though the incredibly old and overused "arrow to the knee" joke wasn't needed.

I don't like this idea. Would be annoying to use and implement.

a bow is annoying to use? *confused*
It wouldn't be annoying to use, annoying to implement perhaps.

I did actually read "Arrow to the knee causes…" in the topic title. My bad.Though the incredibly old and overused "arrow to the knee" joke wasn't needed.
Implementation would mean figuring where the arrow has landed, and firing events based on that arrow.I don't like this idea. Would be annoying to use and implement.

I know, personally, I can't hit the side of a barn with an arrow - let alone another barn. Not sure about anyone else, but my skills are programming.

This would be really bad if a skeleton fires an arrow at your screen and causes it to shutdown or blow something up etc.

Generally you want to avoid programming your computer to blow things up on a monitor touch anyway.
That said, I don't really see the point of this. There are already ways to make arrows activate redstone, and you could use such methods to create a shooting gallery or some other kind of archery activated circuit.

I actually like this idea! But Cloudy is right that it would be difficult to implement for what is effectively an easter egg

I see two reasons for this suggestion: easter egg and firing range. May be also a game "you'll never catch me" ;)/>
All of this is quite subtle reasons to spent coding efforts.

you could use wooden buttons for a firing range. They respond to arrows, and computer can handle the rednet signal. Just can't draw fancy graphics on the target.

Why not punch to the screen?
Or even, gasp, a special touch glove or stylus to trigger touch events?
Nah. That would handicap players to one touch at a time.

You can already right click on advanced monitors.
