Who Are The Digitally Savvy?

Here’s a new PowerPoint style report by consumer and media research firm Scarborough Research. It contains some very interesting analyses and data about US folks who are more likely to be “digitally savvy.” Do they have sattellite radios? iPhones? Are they on the web more? How about downloading activities or web 2.0 type stuff? Are they like us?

It’s worth reading. Now this isn’t the whole library market, of course. It is one of the segments we serve and it shows how many of our virtual library customers might be distinctly different from the walk-in variety.

    I think it’s interesting that PDA-owning is a tech-savvy behavior. Most people I know are discarding their PDAs for smartphones. Of course, they may be defining PDAs broadly to include smartphones.
    Additionally, it’s interesting to see that 96% of the digitally savvy use email. It strikes me that, with only 4% evidently refraining from its use, the eulogies about email that have been proliferating are a bit premature. We have to be very careful to make sure that we don’t elevate the anecdotal over the actual statistical picture.
