Tablet is a mobile device that combines computing, telephone/fax, Internet and networking features. A tablet is primarily operated by touching the screen and it does not require a physical keyboard or mouse.
History
The concept of a tablet was first sketched by Alan Kay while at Xerox PARC in 1971. The first widely sold tablet was Apple's iPad in 2010.
Design
Tablets are typically larger than smartphones or personal digital assistants with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally. Tablets can be classified according to the presence and physical appearance of keyboards. Slates and booklets do not have a physical keyboard and typically feature text input performed through the use of a virtual keyboard projected on a touchscreen-enabled display.
Operating Systems
Most tablets use a mobile operating system such as iOS, Android, and Windows 10.
Uses
Tablets are used for a variety of purposes, including browsing the web, reading e-books, playing games, and watching movies. They are also used in various professional fields such as education, healthcare, and business.
