According to a recent Pew Internet & American Life Project publication, I am probably a Web 2.0 Omnivore. The fact that I’m writing this and have written many posts on this and other blogs could be enough to put me into that group. I have also published videos on multiple streaming servers.
I own a PalmPilot, portable MP3, digital voice recorder and a couple of cell phones. If you call the phone at my office, the message says you should email me.
I don’t use Twitter. Those people must be in the top 0.8%.
You can probably read a lot of different things into this report. For one thing, 15% of us don’t have a cell phones or Internet connection. The average age of this group is 64. I suspect this group will continue to shrink if only from attrition. At age 64 I hope to have an email implant with retinal display and global wireless connectivity. If Moore’s law continues to play out, I’ll have a computer the size of a credit card that is so advanced it will treat me like a house pet. I can’t wait.
