Why we need Tablets

Do we really need tablets? The obvious answer would be no, at least for now. The same was the answer about phones just a few years ago but now a mobile phone is a necessity. The same applied for computers. Tablets are placed in between computers and phones and ideally it should have an edge over both the computer and the mobile phone. An advantage over computer would be its portability and the advantage over phones is that you now have more features.
Still many people don’t even know what tablets are but that will change with time. The smartphones for instance were considered phones for the executives and people high up the economic rank but the Huawei Ideos changed all that. Just as smartphones tablets are still expensive but companies like Huawei and Viewsonic are about to bring tablets to the masses. But the question still remains do we really need tablets?
Tablets are ideal for students. You can completely replace your note books if you have a good tablet. With the right stylus you can take notes just as you would on a note book and the advantage is that your notes are directly saved in soft copy. And as the lecturer yaps away you can easily research on what he/she is talking about. You may also choose to record the whole lecture or using the right speech to text application you can turn whatever the lecturer is saying into notes. Most tablets have the e-book reader application and reading any content feels like you are reading a book. Another advantage is that you get to pack all your different notes on a single device.
Education aside, when it comes to entertainment tablets are designed to deliver. The 7 to 10 inch screen of most tablets is ideal for movie watching, browsing YouTube videos, listening to your favorite music both in audio and video. Gaming on tablets is also enjoyable. For evidence ask Ipad 2 owners. In case the screen is too small for you then you can just connect you tablet to a television and view your content on the television. For those who love browsing the web a tablet is the device for you. You can view full web pages just as on a computer. Connect to any wireless network and browse the web. You can also just insert a SIM card on a 3G enabled tablet and with the right data plan you can browse as you wish.
Tablets will definitely not replace mobile phones but computers should have reasons to be threatened. Tablets fit almost perfectly in the day to day life and only time will tell whether we will hold on to them for our lives or just use them leisurely. If you ask me I will tell you that we need tablets.
