Colleagues/
I am pleased to inform you of Major New Additions to The Mobile Libraries Blog:

Pew Internet: The Mobile Difference
Pew Internet & American Life Project / WASHINGTON, DC / Mar 25, 2009 / The Mobile Difference
Some 39% of Americans have positive and improving attitudes about their mobile communication devices, which in turn draws them further into engagement with digital resources - on both wireless and wireline platforms
"Mobile services complement existing broadband assets, and these Americans find it increasingly hard to be without their connectivity traveling with them as they go."
These findings are the centerpiece of a new typology of technology users released by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. The typology places information and communication technology (ICT) users into ten categories built around their assets (the gadgets they have), actions (how they use ICTs), and attitudes (how they feel about the role of ICTs in their lives).
