Among the 18-29 crowd, 63% say they play games on their tablets, a figure which drops to 56% among the middle-aged and 50% among the older group. Gaming actually emerges as the most popular activity among young tablet owners, although one would suspect that social networking would have been at least as popular an activity should it have been included as an option.

"Models, like myths and metaphors, help us to make sense of our world. Whether derived from whim or from serious research, a model offers its user a means of comprehending an otherwise incomprehensible problem. An instructional design model gives structure and meaning to an I.D. problem, enabling the would-be designer to negotiate her design task with a semblance of conscious understanding. Models help us to visualize the problem, to break it down into discrete, manageable units. The value of a specific model is determined within the context of use. Like any other instrument, a model assumes a specific intention of its user. A model should be judged by how it mediates the designer's intention, how well it can share a work load, and how effectively it shifts focus away from itself toward the object of the design activity. -Martin Ryder "
