Understanding Tablets from Early Childhood to Adulthood offers an alternative to dominant and populist narratives that young people are intuitively able to successfully use tablet devices. Adopting a research-driven approach, the book contests the ideology that touch-technologies are easier to understand, and identifies the factors that contribute to communicative encounters between users and tablets. Communication theory and cognitive psychology concepts and methods are employed to offer an epistemological exploration of user-tablet interaction with a focus on the use of these technologies in educational settings.

Rhonda McEwen is Canada Research Chair in Tactile Interfaces, Communication & Cognition and Associate Professor of New Media & Communication at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

Adam Dubé is Assistant Professor of Learning Sciences at McGill University.
