Our TV usage in this particular modern day has been decreasing sharply because of new inventions that keep us entertained during our free time such as game consoles like xbox, or PS3, or even the smart TV which something more than a TV.
Major Concepts
- Tablet usage has been increasing vastly during free time over smart phones.
- Tablets are mostly used for playing games
- Tablets have overcome the TV usage during free time
Potential Strength/Advantages
The authors point about the iPad having a big industry or impact on peoples free time, is really true because in these days many people in the world has tablets and I think that people rarely open their TV but they use their tablet instead because it has many uses such as social networking, or even the TV itself able ling people to multi-task which allows them to switch between apps so it's better to have a tablet now. The author also has evidence which is a strength is the diagram about the comparing of tablets and smart phone usage which helps to prove to me that games are something really popular that people do during the free time.
Potential Problems/Disadvantages/Limitations
I think that the author has many interesting a true facts about this because I really think that people use a tablet more than a phone at home. Something that makes me wonder is that he made a point where he said that TVs are being used very less but he didn't mention poor countries where most of the people are unable to purchase tablets which proves that people in poor countries still watch more TV. I think that this is the only disadvantage or problem because he didn't mention the country, but I think that a country like America this facts are true.
Questions
There are a few questions I want to ask the author in which I want to know the actual number or the number of tablets people use in America because we are able to compare it with the amount of people watching TV which I think is kind of true. I also wanted to know more about which game console is being used the most during peoples free time.
