Take this quiz to learn your Tech Type
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 01:36PM Thanks to Pamela Cox Nulman, APR for passing along this latest information from the PEW Internet & American Life Project on Internet and cell phone usage. The summary "Don't Blame Me, It's the Phone's Fault!" identifies various types of communication and information technology users. Which one are you? Take the quiz to find out.
According to my results, I'm an Omnivore. I guess we're the type of user you'll find standing in line for the iPhone Friday.
This study calls attention to diffusion of innovations theory and reminds us that it takes a long time for new innovations to diffuse deeply in society. It took electricity 30 years to gain widespread adoption, and the Internet and cell phones may not be much different. After all, the study showed half of all adult Americans have relatively distant relationships with technology such as the Internet and feature-rich cell phones. But years from now, it's quite possible we'll be using our feature-rich cell phones with the same ease as flipping a light switch.
