'" I took an online test this week and found out that I'm an Omnivore.
That got me worried, because Omnivores are the geekiest of online geeks, according to a new study of Americans' relationship with the Internet, cell phones, iPods and other accoutrements of the information age.
The report, issued this week by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, found that Americans -- including many who have pockets full of gadgets -- see the wired world as a mixed blessing.
In fact, our attitudes toward technology are surprisingly more complex and ambivalent than we might think.
How complex? After conducting a survey of 4,001 people, the Pew researchers chopped us up into 10 groups based on our attitudes toward information technology and how much we use it. "
Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
