Survey shatters technology assumptions

Survey shatters technology assumptions - Yahoo! News (AP)

What kind of technology user are you? (Gotcha, yes, you most certainly are a technology user if you're reading this.)

Anyway, are you a "Hi-tech Elite"? A "Productiviy Enchancer"? "Lack-luster Veteran"? A "mobile-centric"?

This article contains definitions and stats from a survey. Also contains a quiz - which I'm about to try myself.

From the article: "Eight percent — mostly women in the early 50s — occasionally use technology and might use more given more experience. They tend to still be on dial-up access and represent potential high-speed customers "with the right constellation of services offered," Horrigan said." [emphasis mine]

True and not true - I fly along with Verizon's FiOS, with the servers on the other end (and my "old" computer and its "old" XP OS...) trying to keep up with me. OTOH, I do live in a metropolitan area and do have a college-age son at home (yes, the FiOS was his idea - I was okay with T-W's Roadrunner cable broad-band...)

BTW, I've been online since 1990, actively. Definitely an online veteran - not only were few people online back then, but women were only ~20% of them. I could write a book, maybe I will someday?
