Just Right

If Goldie Locks was presented with a smart phone, a tablet, and a PC, the tablet would be “just right.”

Smart phones aren’t strong enough to entirely replace PCs, but the phone’s mobile capability draws people to use a smart phone for many of their computing needs. PCs are too large to be conveniently transportable, but the small screens of smart phones make it impossible to use it with ease for some computing needs. It is smart-phone technology that has evolved tablets into a thin screen that runs a touchscreen-focused mobile operating system requiring less processing power than preceding operating systems such as Windows.

Below are a couple articles that describe tablets and their future in schools, businesses, and homes around the world.
