A Typology of Information and Communication Technology Users

Indifferents: They have a fair amount of technology on hand, but it does not play a central role in their daily lives.

This group collectively has a portfolio of information technology that is the lower than any of the preceding groups. Although Indifferents with online access will log on to the internet once every day or so, they are not active users of online resources. They believe – though not too strongly – that information technology is a good way to keep up with family and friends, but they do not much care for how these gadgets make them more available to others.
