More and more Spaniards pay for educational content on Smartphones and tablets
The tablets and smartphones have come into our lives to stay, and each time we make them more "ours" by downloading applications of different types according to our preferences. Among the applications that stand out the most, they seem to be the educational ones: 19% of Spaniards pay for educational contents in technological devices, a figure 14% higher than in 2014.
This means that one in five Spaniards pay regularly for this kind of contents in this type of devices, and thatThe increase is quite significant when comparing the figure with that of 2014, according to Samsung's Technomic Index 2015 study, which tries to identify how Spaniards interact with technology.

The report focuses on the habits of European citizens around electronic devices and household appliances, and reveals some very interesting data: the Spanish invest more money per month in educational materials (an average of 16.30 euros) than what they pay, for example, for mobile games (12.13 euros).
"The exponential growth of digital media, a higher quality content and a greater number of devices they offer many more possibilities", as assured by the Director of International Relations, Communication and Corporate Citizenship of Samsung Spain, Francisco Hortigüela.

On technology, the study shows that in the last 12 months there has been a significant increase in the adoption by consumers of theto 4G mobile technology, as well as an increase in hardware connected to the Internet, such asas Smart TV and tablets.

Technologies in the kitchen
When we talk about new technologies we tend to think of mobile phones and tablets, but the truth is that the Technology also surrounds us at home: television, appliances, etc., are also.
