Tablets are considered primarily consumption, not creation, devices, regardless of demographic.

Tablets for consumption, not creation…at least not yet

This trend appears consistently across most generations, with matures least interested in content creation

Only 24% of 1890 respondents are extremely interested or very interested in using a tablet for creation of content — the lowest ranked of all tablet activities

Only 17% of 1890 respondents are extremely interested or very interested in using a smartphone for creation of content — the third lowest ranked of all smartphone activities; Interest in each consumption activity consistently ranked higher on tablets than on smartphones

But even the consumption desire begins to diminish with screen size

The primary use of a tablet continues to be consumption — not creation —of content

No generation has more than 21% interest (net “extremely” / “very”) in using tablets for content creation; Millenials have highest interest
