Tablets Advantages And Disadvantages

The benefits of tablets are not only restricted to grades K-12 or college. They can also be transferred into real world applications. As seen above in Fig. 1 they expect the amount of tablets in the corporate environment to continue to grow exponentially even after the plateau of tablet sales. Many businesses have already adopted them as cash register alternatives. It is extremely easy and effective for small businesses to use a tablet to take credit card payments. That isn’t all though, as they can be seen in hospitals to help aide during surgery or to keep a database of patient files with them at all times.

This could easily be prevented with a tablet loaded with their textbooks. The average tablet only weighs one to two pounds, whereas a backpack full of books could weigh 20 to 30lbs.
