History of tablet computers

Okay, so you know how you like playing games on your iPad, right? Well, that’s because the iPad is a tablet computer! A tablet computer is a device that’s like a big phone, but it’s not used for making calls like phones are. Instead, people use tablets for things like watching videos, playing games, and doing schoolwork.

Now, let’s talk about the history of tablet computers. A long time ago, people used to write on little stone tablets, and they would record important information using a chisel. Can you imagine that? It was kind of like writing on a big rock! But that’s not what we’re talking about here.

The first tablet computers were made in the 1980s, and they were a lot different from what we have today. They were called “pen computers” because people used a special pen to write on the screen instead of using a keyboard like we do now. These early tablets were really big and heavy, and they didn’t have a lot of features like we do today.

It wasn’t until the 2000s that tablet computers started to become more popular. This is when companies like Apple started making tablets that were more like what we have today. They were thinner, lighter, and had more features like touch screens and cameras. Now, people use tablets all the time for things like surfing the internet, watching movies, and playing games.

So, that’s the history of tablet computers. From big stone tablets to the little iPads you play with today!
