Background and Identification
Tablets are a form of mobile computer. While more portable than a laptop computer, the tablet does not have the same capabilities. They often have less processing power, and do not support access to a cellular network. Tablets were extremely popular in the 2010s, and many technology companies produced them, including Kurio. However, the popularity of the tablet has decreased since then, except in certain uses. Modern smartphones are preferred now because they are extremely small and easy to carry around, and can connect to cellular networks. Despite the rise in smartphone usage, tablets are used by many people and are still sometimes preferred for things like online reading, where their larger screens make them easier to use and less eye-straining.
Kurio tablets are intended for children. In this case, the limited capabilities of a tablet are preferred by the customers. These tablets use parental controls, filters, and user restrictions to create “interactive experiences on adult quality hardware and software, but built with child safety in mind.” Kurio tablets usually include a brightly colored case that is thick and easy to grip to reduce the danger of a child dropping and breaking them.
