0:05 Man I remember it was the first tablet I ever had, there was also a pencil for the tablet but the creators of the tablet removed it 90 days later due to 9 year olds thinking it’s boring (I still have the pencil) there was also an app called “Drawing” it was on beta but sadly it isn’t released to the public (they said the app was releasing on May 16 3310 BC but lied to make money) then the creators of the tablet stopped selling the tablet.

Also the first IPad Mini was actually released at the same time as the IPad 4 in late 2012 at the same time as the release of the IPhone 5 and those were also the first three devices to feature the lightning connector including the 5th generation IPod Touch.

strange how tablets only caught on as "recent" as 2010/2011 considering they been around for quite a while before that!
also the 60s prediction is amazing! considering their computers were still the size of rooms then!

I find myself amazed by this video because I love how technology has grown and changed so much over the years 😊😊

[Magnify.]

The reason why the Note 10 is here is just to show you how phablets have changed over time. I didn’t want to go extreme so I only showed the note because it made phablets popular.

[urieoelsklsioekfdmkcmdkmfk]

my god the nostalgia. i can just remember playing games on a pad 1 when she we weren't supposed to, and then just hiding it under the nearest bed/couch when heard someone coming.
