The Evolution Of The Tablet Computer

First of all there was the desktop computer, which incidentally still hold a firm

position in the computer world; tower computers are still a preferred choice for anyone who is looking for a powerful and versatile machine. Tower computers have casing that is easily opened up by anyone without assistance from a professional, this is also true when changing components, and because DIY upgrades are so easy with a desktop they highly regarded as an economical choice. The price of replacing or upgrading components is relatively insignificant in comparison to the price of a replacement computer, or the cost of hiring a professional to upgrade a laptop.

Following the desktop was the laptop, manufacturers were able to use miniature components to condense the computer into a portable version, ideal for anyone that requires mobility. Having a computer that is portable came with a number of significant implications, aside from the fact that people get surf the web whilst on the go the were also implications for other sectors, for example sound engineers could move their work to new and innovative locations. Though initially laptops were not powerful machines they have already come a long way and are rivalling the power of the desktop in the present day.

The portability factor was taken a step further when smart phones were brought out onto the market, theres no doubt that miniature components used in laptops paved the way for this innovation but smart phones brought about a whole new meaning to the term portable in the computer world. The smart phone was the first computer phone that was able to perform basic computer tasks such as browse the Internet, download applications, and other expected phone functions. In addition to revolutionising communications by bringing people truly mobile Internet smart phones also came with some interesting implications surrounding techniques for interfacing with computers, as it was one of the first products to effectively implement the touch screen.

Just as smart phones followed laptops, the tablet computer followed the smart phone, taking the touch screen technology a step further. Tablet computers are essentially a sort of hybrid between laptops and smart phones, bigger in size than a smart phone and with a touch screen for control. Although there is not yet a standard size for this machine they generally have a screen size of around ten inches. For many people the tablet computer still seems like something of a novelty, and lacks any clear purpose however there is no doubt that potential lies in this touch screen technology.
