A Typology of Information and Communication Technology Users

Light but Satisfied

Despite having cell phones or online access, “Light but Satisfied” users say technology does not do much for them.

The first of these groups, the Light but Satisfied, has a below-average rate of internet and cell phone access. They are not frequent users of the internet and are least likely group to rely on their cell phones for most of their calls. Although ICTs do not loom large in the lives of Light but Satisfied group members, they seem reasonably satisfied with how it lets them keep in touch with family and friends.
