      ab: The article discusses the development and demise of tablet computers. A history of tablet computing is given, noting that the first tablet personal computer (PC) appeared in the late 1980s and rose in prominence during the 1990s, only to succumb to obscurity shortly thereafter. The early development, proliferation, and disappearance of pen-based PCs is examined. Also discussed are various product failures within the computing field, noting the factors required for successful consumer acceptance of new technologies.
