A website for technology shoppers conducted a census of sorts and uncovered that different regions prefer different technologies. For example, New Yorkers love iPads but in Massachusetts they prefer Kindles.

Retrevoalso notes that the San Francisco Bay Area streams a lot more digital content than the rest of the country.
