The Advisory Board’s estimate of two to three years as a likely timeframe for
their adoption in the K-12 sector is a reflection of the fact that younger
students are, at present, less likely than college-age students to carry mobile
devices, especially Internet-capable ones — although there is a growing trend
that suggests this will not always be the case — and that access to cloud-based
applications is more difficult for younger students for the same reasons that
collaborative environments and online communication tools are often out of
reach.

In some places, mobile devices like the iPhone have already begun to supplant
portable computers as the Internet-capable device of choice.
