3. “In terms of demographic
profiling, a surprising finding is
that older students tended to
favor tablets (p=0.0004),
smartphones (p<0.0001), and e-
readers (p=0.0082) over
younger students. Cost could be
a factor here, with younger
students not having the
purchasing power to acquire
these devices. But regardless of
the reason, these data suggest
that students transitioning
directly form secondary to
postsecondary education are
not prepared to use these
devices as academic tools, or at
least haven’t found them to be
very or extremely important
yet.” ECAR National Study of Undergraduate

Notas do Editor
ECAR 2011 survey:• A full-sized laptop computer is one that is designed to be portable; it usually weighs more than two pounds; the keyboard and monitor are usually attached to each other. • A lightweight netbook or tablet computer is highly portable; it usually weighs less than two pounds; its monitor is small (usually 10” or less) and the keyboard may be small and built in or the keys may be displayed in video on a touch screen. iPad is included here. • A dedicated e-book reader is a portable device whose sole function is as a platform for reading electronic books and certain other electronic publications. Examples include the Kindle, NOOK, and the like; iPad and similar tablet devices serve many other functions and so are not included here. • A handheld device is usually about the size of a cellular telephone and often includes one; it has a screen that can show e-mail messages, web pages, video, etc.; and its keyboard is a few inches across, at most. We are not interested in devices that are plain cellular phones or are music/video players only, such as certain iPods. Pew: smartphone defined as adults who either say their phone is a smartphone when asked or say their phoen runs on the Android, blackberry, iPhone, Palm, or Windows platforms.

THE INTERNET OF THINGShe Internet of Things has become a sort of shorthand for network-aware smart objects that connect the physical world with the world of information. A smart object has four key attributes: it is small, and thus easy to attach to almost anything; it has a unique identifier; it has a small store of data or information; and it has a way to communicate that information to an external device on demand. The Internet of Things extends that concept by using TCP/IP as the means to convey the information, thus making objects addressable (and findable) on the Internet.
