Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.

In my experience kids who had iDevices don't grow up to be tech literate but do have decently off parents.

I also grew up dirt poor and only had a webTV til I was like... 14. I'm way more tech literate than most it seems.

webTV

Wasn't that pretty expensive? Or am I thinking of something different?

Something different... it was like 20 bucks a month and the receiver we didn't pay for thankfully. Although the receivers were still much cheaper than a PC and certainly cheaper than a mac... around 2-300 I think?
