Background and Identification
Tablets are a form of mobile computer. While more portable than a laptop computer, the tablet does not have the same capabilities. They often have less processing power, and do not support access to a cellular network. Tablets were extremely popular in the 2010s, and many technology companies produced them, including Boogie Board. Boogie Board is a brand owned by Kent Displays, a company that develops Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screens. Boogie Board tablets are e-writers, which means that they are similar to a high-tech version of a dry-erase board. They are intended to be used with a stylus to make notes and drawings. These devices come in all shapes and sizes, from pocket-sized notepads to full whiteboard-sized displays. The target audience for these devices is mostly young children, although the tablets can be used by adults for note taking.
The popularity of the tablet has decreased since the 2010s, except in certain uses. Modern smartphones are preferred now because they are extremely small and easy to carry around, and can connect to cellular networks. Despite the rise in smartphone usage, tablets are used by many people and are still sometimes preferred for things like online reading, where their larger screens make them easier to use and less eye-straining.
