Why Do Screens Glitch When You Swipe?

Imagine your phone's screen is like a big, magical board that knows when you're touching it. When you swipe, like sliding your finger across the board, the magic board tries to understand what you want. Sometimes, if it gets confused or tired, it might show funny colors or freeze. This is called screen glitching.
