If a game has poorlearning principles built into its design, then it won’t get learned or playedand won’t sell well.
Not necessarily, many people buy games because the setting looks interesting, or it has an interesting mechanic , and then they'll hop into the game and find out that it really does have poor learning principles and is hard to learn, but its already been bought.

88 percent reported downloading music or videos over the Internet and 74 percent reported that they had shared fi les (music or other) over the Internet.
Crazy how fast things have changed, to the point where people just stream all of the music they listen to most of the time in only about a decade.

Even youth who do not possess computers and Internet access in the home are participants in a shared culture where new social media, digital media distribution, and digital media production are com-monplace among their peers and in their everyday school contexts.

Unsurprising, parents probably keep up on all the newest tech not only because they work around it, but also because they can afford it
-

Very important to consider different worldviews in relation to technology use, especially poorer people that don't have the access to it.
