The graph is reflecting the demography of the US, skewed a bit on the high side since reading is a prerequisite.

I would suggest that ownership of an iPad is reflective of some other factor than age, or some combination of factors. I would like to think curiosity is one key factor.

You can be as curious as you want, but without the ability to come up with at least $500.00, that curiosity won't do you any good! I would have to say that the people who can afford to buy an iPad for themselves are probably older, have better jobs and are probably better educated.

37 and my wife is 36....

I have more toys than the kids.....

Hi Al,

Also from the St. Louis area!

I totally agree with the fact that when it comes to this new-fangled techno-stuff, these kids can show us a thing or two. On the other hand, I think some people are in such a rush to get their iPad up and running, that they don't even take the time to, as we used to say when I worked for Uncle Sam and wore an olive drab uniform, "RTFM!"

Here are some actual iPadForum questions (with the names removed!):

I got the 10W Power Adapter and one end goes into the a power outlet, what does the other end attach to? I don't have any plugs with that type of connection.

My rotation lock is apparently on. A lock icon appears in the upper right corner of my iPAD any my screen will not rotate. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off?

Hopefully they will RTFM before their unit becomes AFU, FUBB or even worse, FUBAR!

My experience: between 25 and 35, probably because of the association with ebooks plus the cost.
