Tablet reading? Come on.

When I was in college, I told my family that I bought a computer for study. After buying the computer, I found that it had almost nothing to do with study. When the iPad became popular, the neighbor asked if buying an iPad would help her children study...

According to data from a US research institute, the educational media that children are most exposed to is television.

Two-thirds of American children use an e-reader or tablet, but only half use them to read.

The Ganz Cooney Center surveyed 1,577 parents about how much time their children aged 2 to 10 spent on educational content such as television, computers and game consoles.

62% of children own an e-book, tablet or both, but only 49% use these devices to read.

Even among these children who read, they only read for 5 minutes a day, while the average time they spend reading physical books is half an hour.

Despite this, parents believe that 44% of their children’s media consumption time is spent on educational content, equivalent to 56 minutes of the 2 hours and 7 minutes a day.

57% of parents believe their children learn a lot from educational content such as reading and mathematics, but only 19% believe their children learn enough science knowledge.
