Okay, I have issues. Hello, my name is Harry and I'm an appaholic. Glad I got that off my chest. I currently have 112 apps on my IPhone. I have a feeling I'm not alone. We love our apps, or do we? I came across this piece in USA Today about App use. It quotes a Pew Center report which found 68% of smart phone users open five apps or less a week. 80% to 90% of apps are eventually deleted. I'm wondering if these fleeting love affairs with apps apply to kid's app use as well. Are there certain apps that have staying power in educational settings, or does the novelty of individual apps wear off over time? This might make for some interesting research....
