Pen computing

phablets include a stylus, called "S Pen". Pen computing refers to any computer user-interface using a digital pen or stylus and tablet, over input devices such as a keyboard or a mouse. Historically, pen computing (defined as a computer system employing a user-interface using a pointing device plus handwriting recognition as the primary means for interactive user input) predates the use of a mouse and graphical display by at least two decades, starting with the Stylator and RAND Tablet systems of the 1950s and early 1960s.
