What are device types?

A device type is like saying what kind of toy you're playing with, it helps us know how to use it.

Imagine you have a box full of toys: there are cars, blocks, and balls. Each one plays differently. A car rolls on the floor, blocks stack up high, and a ball bounces when you kick it. In the same way, device types tell us what kind of gadget we're using, like a phone, a computer, or a smartwatch.

Think about your favorite toy. If you know it's a car, you can push it and watch it go. If it's a block, you can build towers with it. A device type works the same way, it helps us understand what we can do with that gadget.

For example, a phone lets you talk, text, and play games, while a smartwatch tells time and tracks your steps. Even though they’re both gadgets, their device types are different, so they do different things!
