Subject: Typology of ICT users

Dave:
I thought IP readers might be interested in a new Pew Internet report  
-- a typology of information and communication technology users. The  
typology is based on a survey that queried respondents on three  
dimensions of their relationship to ICTs -- the technology they  
possess, how they use ICTs, and their attitudes on ICTs' usefulness  
(or not) in their lives.

I link to the full report below, but we've developed an interactive  
tool that might be of particular interest to IP-ers. Anyone can take  
a short quiz on their use & attitudes toward ICTs and see what  
typology group to which they belong. That link is: http:// 
www.pewinternet.org/quiz/

Many thanks,
John
