Easier to work with things on the screen
For some people, it can be difficult to use a mouse or to learn to use a mouse. In some cases it may be easier to use a pen to work directly with the screen. It can be more natural for you to work with something on the screen while keeping your attention on that area of the screen, rather than having to switch your attention between the screen and some other input-related place, (like the mouse or keyboard.)
By getting visual or audio feedback as you move around the screen, this could be a convenient way to work with maps or other diagrams on the Tablet PC. For example, the image below shows how a program could make it easier to learn how an car engine works.
Making it easier to get feedback about what's beneath the pen is useful for people with different needs, from advanced engineering to basic learning. The image below shows how someone with basic learning needs could find the Tablet PC a useful and enjoyable aid. To learn more about the simple BicycleBits program shown below, click here.
