Like the Mobile Newbies, members of the Tech Indifferent group do not have a great deal of tech assets at hand. Unlike Mobile Newbies, they are not thrilled by any ICT gadget or service in their portfolio. They are infrequent online users and do the majority of phone calling not on their cell phones, but on their home landlines. Few have even so much as tried to send a text message on their cell phone.  

The Tech Indifferent also do not like the extra availability fostered by their mobile device, and few think ICTs offer them additional personal productivity. Not many in this group would be bothered by giving up their cell phone or online connection.
