ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Personal digital assistant

Personal digital assistants, or PDAs, are like little electronic helpers that work with you to make your life easier. They are like virtual friends who are always there and can help you with whatever needs you have. PDAs come in many forms, such as computers, phones, and tablets. They help by keeping track of things like appointments, reminders, dates, and tasks. You can tell them what you need and they will work to help you find it or do it for you. Some PDAs also have special features like being able to speak to you and understand what you say. Think of a PDA as a very smart, helpful friend who is always there to help.
