According to the National Retail Federation, back-to-school spending on consumer electronics and computers is expected to increase 12 percent to nearly $7.2 billion this year. The industry trade group based its projection on an annual consumer survey, conducted by BIGresearch, showing that families with kids in grades K-12 plan to spend an average of $189.51 on computers, cellphones, MP3 players, tablets and other devices, up from $181.61 last year.
