College students are embracing the smartphones, ipads and the ereaders in full swing as they are only making their academic lives better.

According to the research compiled by Presta Electronics, more than 90% use email to communicate with professors and 73% say they cannot study without technology. Seven in 10 take notes on keyboards instead of paper, and most use digital tools when preparing a presentation.

38% of students can’t go more than 10 minutes without checking their smartphone or other device.

Students at Community college are less digitally connected than students at four-year schools, but increasing number of students are making the Internet their education gateway. Twelve million students take at least one class online today — in five years, that number is projected to exceed 22 million. By 2014, analysts say, more than 3.5 million students will take all of their classes online.

It is a good sign that students are becoming more tech savvy than ever before and this is what Apple’s Chief Executive Steve Jobs aimed for. And College Students and Technology are virtually recession-proof market.
