Smart phones and tablets are not just changing the way we
read! New figures released this month show the growing popularity of watching
television on mobile devices, helping the BBC iPlayer hit record-breaking
numbers of downloads.
This reflects both the growing penetration of
internet-connected devices in the market, and the near-universal availability
of BBC iPlayer on those devices. Researchers say a third of us now prefer to
watch TV on our mobile devices than on the box. At this rate, the figures will soon match those for people who now prefer to read eBooks rather than paper books.
It may also be indicative of people fed up paying the BBC licence fee! Get rid of the telly and watch on the ipad.
