anonymous on 14 Mar 12"The number of college students who say They own tablets has more than tripled since a survey taken last year, according to new poll results released today. The Pearson Foundation sponsored The second-annual survey, which asked 1,206 college students and 204 college-bound high-school seniors about Their tablet ownership. The results suggest students increasingly prefer to use The devices for reading. One-fourth of The college students surveyed said They owned a tablet, compared with just 7 percent last year. Sixty-three percent of college students believe tablets will replace textbooks in The next five years-a 15 percent increase over last year's survey"
