Utah County a ‘concentration’ of techies
Rocky Mountain News reports (pop-up warning!)a new survey that tracked 20 different technology-related behaviors believes Denver to be the epicenter of technies in the US.
But Utah county made the list as well, running up third overall for geekiness
“Other areas with big concentrations of early adopters included the Northern Virginia-Washington-Baltimore area and the Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah, areas.
“Income wasn’t considered a key factor for determining who the early adopters are, with young people spending a key chunk of their pay on devices and tech services.
“To gauge who is tech-savvy, the survey looked at 20 different technology-related behaviors. They included everything from making phone calls via the Internet, to using Wi-Fi wireless networks outside the home or office, to ditching traditional land-line phones in favor of cell phones.
…
“They included, among others, such types as ‘affluent families’ earning $75,000 or more; ‘high-speed homeowners’ who own more than three home computers; ‘online singles’ who watch digital cable TV or listen to National Public Radio; ‘telecommuting techies’ who have a broadband ISDN line and make travel plans online; and ‘high-tech wannabes’ who make $25,000 or less and who shop via wireless Internet and watch MTV.”
