Statistics from a study show that Japanese may be more likely to stick with their PC’s than use tablets.
That is, according to Life Media, a well known survey and media campaign company in Japan. The conducted study used a sample of about 3,600 men and women that are aged from 10 to 60 years. The primary question given to the participants is that whether they would want to own a tablet or not.
Regardless of age group and gender, an overwhelming 72.6% of the entire sample said that they do not want to own a tablet, and that “I’m fine as long as I have a PC”. A more detailed survey even revealed that at least 54% of those who do not own a tablet within the sample group do not have plans of owning one at all. The remaining 40.2% of the non-owning group however said that “they might want one” and a small 5.8% have openly expressed their plans to buy at least one tablet unit.
As for the reason why they would not want to own one, within the “I’m fine as long as I have a PC” group, other reasons include “I don’t think I really need one” (35.7%), “Smartphones are enough for me” (29.7%), and “They’re quite expensive” (14.6%).
Reversely, the 18.8% of the sample group who do have tablets are asked whether they would still need a PC or not. At least 45.1% answered yes, and that “PC’s are still definitely needed”.
It is interesting to point out that the study never indicated whether pocket electronic dictionaries were classified as a PC. Even before the prevalence of tablets or availability of netbooks, the usually cheap and affordable electronic dictionaries are often used by the Japanese as their all-around pocket PC, which may help explain the overwhelming preference for personal computers even when tablets today continue to become more widespread.
