ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

TecTiles

Tectiles are small square tiles that can talk to electronic devices like phones or tablets. They have special technology inside that lets them send signals called NFC (Near Field Communication) which tells your device to do something.

For example, imagine your mom put a tectile next to your bedroom door. When you tap your phone on the tectile, it might turn on your favorite music or turn off your lights. This works because your phone gets a signal from the tectile and knows what to do with it.

Tectiles can be programmed to do different things, depending on what you want them to do. You might use them to start a game on your tablet, or to turn on your TV and get Netflix going.

Overall, tectiles are cool gadgets that let you control your devices in a fun and easy way.
