Tablets Rise Amid Stark Desktop Decline

According to Parks, only 6 per cent of US broadband households rely on desktops exclusively, with an additional 6 per cent of households using only a combination of desktops and tablets.

“Desktop adoption has declined from a peak of 91 per cent down to 61 per cent of broadband households, and it will not recover, as just 12 per cent of households bought a desktop in 2015,” Barbara Kraus, Parks director of research, commented.
