Tablets Might be Fastest-Growing Consumer Electronics Technology, Ever

Important consumer electronics innovations used to take decades to reach majority adoption.
Digital techologies get adopted much faster.  Years are more typical. Tablets might be the new benchmark.

Netbiscuits reported that the tablet market had a year-on-year growth of 65 percent by 2013. It was also revealed that the market has made room for new competitors other than Apple's iPad. In 2012, 60 percent of tablet sales were attributed to Apple, but that number has fallen to just 33 percent in 2013. Android tablet sales were reported at 38 percent in 2012, and rose to 63 percent in 2013.

Tablet adoption in India rose 400 per cent in 2012 and sales in Southeast Asia have spiked 101 percent.
