A kiosk (pronounced KEE-ahsk) is a small, free-standing physical structure that displays information or provides a service. Kiosks can be manned or unmanned, and unmanned kiosks can be digital or non-digital. The word kiosk is of French, Turkish and Persian origin and means pavilion or portico.
A computer kiosk is basically a computer with some form of integrated housing unit. The simplest models are usually little more than an ordinary desktop or tablet fastened or fixed onto a table of some sort, often at the average height of someone standing to work on or access it, whereas more complex examples are fully streamlined touch-screen machines, as are frequently seen at airport and rail station self-service check-in counters. There are many uses and variations, though most are intended to handle self-service tasks, be it checking books out from a library or requesting a number at a butcher’s deli counter. Most kiosks come pre-packaged with software and are designed to handle the specific tasks the machine will be doing, and in most cases the computers aren’t capable of robust use not related to the task at hand.
