Owners of iPads and other tablet devices tend to be news junkies who are wealthier and more highly educated than than the general population, according to a new report. People who use tablet divices are more educated according to the research which states fifty-one percent of them have a college degree, compared with 28% of all Americans. Tablet users also tend to be richer: Fifth-three percent have an annual household income greater than $75,000, compared with 28% of the total U.S. population. Also, Tablet users read news much more than people who don’t use tablet. Since they are more accessible to news.

After reading this article, I partly agree and partly disagree. I agree that tablet users are usually richer because poor people can’t afford those devices. Also they are news-loving because it’s easy and quick to access to news and reading news is a good time-killing activity. However, I disagree tablet users are generally more educated, because people might be educated while they cannot afford a tablet or people who doesn’t like using tablet. I am not a tablet user, because I don’t like the small screens on them. Lots of people might have different reasons for not using tablets, but this doesn’t mean they’re not educated.
