This group has a relatively casual relationship with the internet and mobile applications, even though Drifting Surfers have a fair amount of tech resources (e.g., broadband, cell phones) at hand. They will skip a day of using the internet without worry, and are likely to be emailing or checking news headlines when they do log on. Checking out blogs or online video? Not for them.

In fact, indifference characterizes Drifting Surfers’ attitudes toward ICTs. Few see them as adding to their personal productivity and they are not cornerstones to how they learn new things or keep in touch with others. If their cell phones or internet connection were taken away, few Drifting Surfers would find that hard.
