Tablets Take Their Place in the PC Market

Introduction

This paper intends to discuss the case of 'Tablets take their place in the PC Market.' The underlying awareness and the rapid changes in respect to the Tablet taking place within the PC market will out rightly be discussed. The prominent increase of Tablet PCs has created essential changes within the development process of the systems. Different questions asked at the end of the case will be answered within this paper in order to make the readers aware about the significance of the changes taking place within the PC Market.

Question One: Software Development to aid the Learning Process

The increased interest of children using computer technologies in their education has increased the significance of Tablet PC. When children are learning to use the Tablet PC; important software can be used to aid the learning process of children. The fact that children possess the maximum ability to learn things more rapidly and more quickly suggests that such software must be developed which can help children learn important aspects of technology helping them enhancing their overall education. The development of software to aid the learning process is important; however, there is no way software can replace the significance of teachers (Plowman et al 2009). Teachers are basically involved within the overall personality development of students which cannot be attained by the utilization of software. Software is only useful to make children aware about information; however, the need of teachers is essentially immense.

The technology seems to be positively contributing towards the learning of young children and the overall field of education (Plowman et al 2009).

Question Two: Usage of Systems

There is an immense need to make the systems usable without training for the purpose of enhancing the significance of the systems. The process of systems development needs to be taken care of. The process must make sure that the systems are developed in a manner that is user friendly. The system development process must develop such systems which can be used without training and intervention by knowledgeable persons (Burden, 2000). Another important thing to consider is that a single package must contain various software upgrades that can be utilized as and when needed. All these updates remain extremely relevant to the client locales and the various operating systems. Moreover, the upgrade must be so dynamic that ...
