I'm not sure what you mean by this: 78% of American households 3 years ago had computers. 95+% of those making over $100k do.
I suspect only two groups don't:
-The poor who can't afford one, let alone an internet connected one
-The elderly who are confused by computers. The iPad is a bit less confusing (but still very much so!), but unfortunately uncomfortable to use (esp. for a senior).
- dennykmiu 17y agoFew people make over $100K so even if 100% of those who make $100K can use a computer, that's still a minority.
- usaar333 17y ago" 78% of American households 3 years ago had computers."
- dennykmiu 17y agoI believe the statistic that you are referring to is that it is projected that 78% of the households would have broadband connection by the year 2010 which was a 2005 study. My own experience is that in my own extended family, kids have no problem with computers, but less than one-third of the 18 adults are comfortable enough to use a computer. In any case, I am not making the case that iPad would change the World, but that it is the existence proof that allows the rest of the industry to change the world.
