Note, however, that the privacy policy doesn't affect anonymous public users.

Le software plutôt que le hardware Et de manière plus précise, le rapport s'arrête sur les différentes catégories qui composent le marché. Les pays émergents rattrapent leur retard Enfin, le rapport rappelle que ces chiffres seront majoritairement soutenus par l'Amérique du Nord, qui comptait en 2011 pour 60% du revenu total de l'éducation digital, et dont le taux actuariel devrait croître de 15,2% entre 2012 et 2017.
