Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)

A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a portable electronic device designed to help users organize their personal and professional information. It typically features a touchscreen interface, allowing users to manage calendars, contacts, appointments, notes, and tasks efficiently. PDAs often include communication capabilities like email and internet access, making it a useful tool for staying connected and productive on the go. Although they have largely been replaced by smartphones, PDAs were important as early handheld devices that combined multiple functions in a compact form, serving as digital assistants for everyday organization and communication.
