Dad could learn to browse web sites like Home Depot, AutoZone, Bank, restaurants, etc.

Computer Tablets are slim and very lightweight, making them
extremely portable and easy to carry around in your bag.
The majority of tablet-owners find they enjoy their devices because they are cheaper than purchasing a brand new laptop, they function as great e-readers, are good to have during office meeting or in a classroom and are better for movies and television shows on the go. There’s also nothing like playing games and checking email or having 1-on-1 presentations on a larger screen.
Tablets make traveling on long trips simpler without draining the battery of your smartphone, straining your eyes to watch a small screen or lugging around a heavier laptop in a car or on a plane. Tablets make sense on any occasion, and they are just more expedient and atheistically pleasing than hiding in a corner with your laptop plugged up to the wall outlet.
They are similar in operation to a smartphone, with touch screens and thousands of downloadable apps.
