Tablet

A tablet, tablet computer or tablet PC is a mobile computing device designed to be held in one or two hands. It is typically the size of a book (7 inches or bigger) and resemble a large smartphone.

Tablet let the users do many of the same things as a traditional computer. They can browse the internet, connect to social network apps, and display HD videos. They excel at application which do not require a large amount of precise user input.

Early tablet devices used light pens or a stylus as their input devices. However, today all tablets use a touchscreen as their primary input devices with the option to connect external devices such as a keyboard. Most tablet only have a few physical buttons, the back power, and volume buttons and everything else can be done using your fingers. Today there are top two operating systems used with tablets. A tablet can have apps installed onto them to perform a function.

The concept of a tablet was first sketched by Alan Kay while at Xerox in 1971 and since then there have been many iterations of tablet devices including PDA’s predecessors to the tablet.

“They excel at applications which do not require a large amount of precise user input”

The underlined word has similar in meaning to….

• Surpass

• Solve

• Beat

• Get over

• Be talented

The word Camcorder is a combination of “camera and “recorder”.in the early days of portable television production, the video camera and the VCR really were two pieces of equipment. The videographer would carry the video camera in his shoulder.

The VCR –about the same size as the VCR you may have at home-was attached to a strap and carried on the shoulder too. The two items were connected by a video cable, and often an audio cable, too. Early versions of this setup weighed 25 pounds or more and even the later versions (around 1992) were still very heavy. Often videographer would carry a tripod and put the VCR on a media center cart.

Now, of course, a high quality camcorder fits in the palm of the hand. Even a kid can hold the combined video camera and VCR with no problem.

Even though the size of the equipment has charged over the years, the basic functions are still the same. Light and sound enter the camcorder are converted into electrical signals and recorded onto a magnetic videotape. The signal is also sent to a tiny TV and speaker, so that videographers can see and hear what they are videotaping.

What is the text about?

• A camera
