100% agree. That's the point I was trying to make, in response to Steve saying young people are targeted for gadgets like iPods as they're more susceptible to marketing. That's just silly IMO.

If you have the surveys and the marketing research that support your claims, then please, let's see it.

I'm not going to go searching for it, especially since I have to go teach a class in a few minutes, you can google it on your own as it's just various surveys I've seen over the years.
And it's kind of common sense on the marking front--companies advertise their products based on what marketing research tells them about the demographics of people interested in their product. Thus all you got to do is watch who is targeted in ads for various gadgets to see what demographics their research told them to target. Or go to a Best Buy and look at the age of people looking at MP3 players and smart phones compared to TVs and cameras etc.
But we're going in circles here, so I'll make my exit now. Probably take a break from the site in general for a bit as the topics are getting stale and repetitive and I keep going over the same things again and again. Until there are some tablet devices out there's not much on the e-book from I'm interested in discussing anymore anyway.
Ciao.
