i'm just chillin enjoying my vacation surfing the web deliscious-ing like crazy and found this cool post:
Based on data collected and compiled within the Pew Internet and America Life Project, Rainie divided technology users into nine groups, with non-users being the tenth group:
1.
Omnivores (8 percent of the U.S. population): They enthusiastically use everything related to mobile communications technology.
2.
Connectors (7 percent): This group, trending toward older females, really uses the communication aspects of these technologies.
3.
Lackluster Veterans (8 percent): They use the Internet frequently, but are less avid about cell phones. (If self-placement is permitted, I think I would classify myself as a lackluster veteran.)
4.
Productivity Enhancers (8 percent of population): They have strongly positive views about how technology helps them increase their productivity at work and at home.
5.
Mobile Centrics (10 percent of the population): They fully embrace the functionality of their cell phones, but don't use the Internet much.
6.
Connected But Hassled (10 percent): They find all this connectivity intrusive and information something of a burden. They often experience information overload.
7.
Inexperienced Experimenters (8 percent): These casual users occasionally take advantage of interactivity.
8.
Light But Satisfied (15 percent): They have some technology, but it does not play a major role in their lives. They love TV and radio.
9.
Indifferents (11 percent): They proudly proclaim that they don't like this technology, but they begrudgingly use it a little.
10.
Off the Network (15 percent): They have neither a cell phone nor an Internet connection. Older females dominate this group.
So, where do you fit in? i'm going with Lackluster Veterans.

I'm a productivity enhancer. ~o.
I think it's interesting that "older females" are mentioned as the majority in two, very different, categories ... what about older males? and the youths? and those that defy gender norms? I need more information before I can say where I fit in ....
