I was just thinking about the name TABLET and all the cool, awesome things a Tablet PC can do.
The word 'Tablet' always gives me very stone age sort of an impression, but ironically Tablet PC is the revolutionizing agent of modern technology.
Tablet PCs have truly given a new dimension to all industries then let it Education, Hospitals, Logisitics or even business management! Once aquinted with the features that today's Tablet Softwares provide, their use seems totally indispensible.
In the Education Sectors, Heulab already has a couple of its softwares as pilots in schools in the Asia Pacific Region, including our local market of Singapore. Compared to the conventional methods of learning and teaching, the modern Tablet piloted systems are totoally revolutionary and give a new, better, enhanced and independent education environment, which truly prepare students to embark on their own journey of life long learning!
My point is, looking at such examples, and how Tablet PC's mark the era of mobile and digital computing..... I often think how ironic it is that they are called Tablets, which atleast for me ..take me back into history...when people use to carve stuff on Tablets!
So now if we think back into history and recall... when tablets came into the picture...... it was for the first time that man started recording down things and writing.... marking a major step in the progress of Human civilization! And the same can be thought of today with Tablet PCs.... the way this gadget is fast penetrating into the society and revolutinizing every indusrty that it touches..... it forces me to consider that.... indeed history repeats itself...once again these 'Digital Tablets' of today mark yet another major milestone in the progress of Human Civilization!!! Hence this term popped into my head: DIGITAL STONE AGE!!!!
