I believe that the tablet pc/iPad is an emerged technology that will be around for a long time. This tool decreases the need for huge desktop computers; it enhances the laptops, and other mobile tools such as a smartphone. Usually in the classroom, teachers use laptops or desktops to provide instruction. The tablet pc/iPad provides access to provides the ability to enhance instruction in the classroom (Yost, S). This tool obsoletes notebooks/notepads. This disables the need for pencils and pens, but instead people are able to use technology tools to take notes while they are in class. This tool retrieves accessibility to data such as the Internet. I believe that maybe eventually a newer, smaller, or sleeker tool may reverse this tool. In the end, the tablet pc is a great tool that has emerged and provided great convenience to people who use it.

Schquetta,
ReplyDeleteGood post. Our Enhances and Obsoletes are very similar. I would include paper reading books as well with obsoletes. I have recording devices as well, although not everyone uses the audio and video recording abilities of the iPad. Can you think of specific devices that the iPad retrieves and reverses?
Best,
Marc
I agree the I think iPads and tablets will be around for a long time as well. As a "PC" person the iPad is the only thing from Apple I have and I use it all the time. If I did not have to go through iTunes so much to add things to it it would be even better. That is the one limitation I do not like.
