iPad

There are so many apps, especially on iPads, that is marketed towards children. The market population seems to be geared towards younger and younger people. There are app books, comics, games, discovery apps, the list goes on and on. Commercials more often show children using iPads while their parents watch on approvingly. Sooo, is this a good thing? A bad thing? Maybe just a neutral thing? For years people have complained about how TV is bad for kids. So I'm sure that there are many adults out there saying that iPads are just as bad. I personally wouldn't put an expensive iPad in the hands of a youngin'.

It would be interesting to interview the makers/creators of apps for kids. See what their marketing strategy is and what they choose to use in iPad programs. What they choose to focus on, how they figure out what is important and/or a better seller. Do they peruse mom magazines? Classrooms?
