What kind of technology user are you?
This online “Internet Typology Test” has been making the rounds lately and it’s kind of fun. You answer a few questions and see what kind of technology and communication user you are. The accompanying report from Pew Internet & American Life Project is here if you want to read it. According to the report, 8% of Americans are deep users of the participatory Web and mobile applications. I’m happy to report that I’m in that 8%…I’m an omnivore. And to think, back in the dark ages when I was a college student, I was just learning how to use Pine and Netscape Navigator! My 3-year old already knows how to put a CD into a computer, turn on the music using iTunes, navigate around websites and online games using a mouse, take photos using a cell phone and digital camera, use an iPod, and type her name on Microsoft Word! Actually, now that I think about it, I think she’s already in that 8%!
