It’s no secret smartphones, tablets, laptops and other gadgets continue to grow in popularity becoming, for many, an essential part of everyday life.

1) Laptops
Laptop computers are by far the most popular device owned by Americans. A 2013 Gallup survey of U.S. adults showed 64% owned a laptop computer. This number rises to 95% when talking about early adopters of mobile technology.

It is clear smartphones reign supreme, but the popularity of tablet computers isn’t far behind. According to Pew Internet , 42% of U.S. adults own tablet devices. The convenient size and dimensions of tablets make them an ideal match for consumers looking to browse the Internet, update their social networks, stream their favorite shows on Netflix and iTunes, or read a book online.
