Credit where credit is not due?

by Sarah Dillon

Apparently, I’m an e-expert…

Our research suggests the following:

e-experts are well above average in their understanding, exploration, and use, of the digital universe. An active online consumer, you really appreciate the benefits of digital devices to your life, which includes work, leisure, keeping in touch, shopping, travel, and entertainment. You are keen to share your enthusiasm, and are already thinking about your next e-nlivening e-xperience!

…but I’m not sure appreciation, enthusiasm or even thinking comes into it – I’m just a perfectly “normal” Gen Y-er.

I’ve put a link to the survey in the right-hand column of my blog. Have a go and let me know what you think.

    Hi kiriska

    I agree, it is a bit random, and not in the least bit scientific… but fun, no?!

    In fact, I reckon a 100% score points more to the fact that a respondent doesn’t know when to go for real life and when to go for e-life, myself – thus indicating alower level of adeptness!

    It seems that “e-expert” merely means I am very adept at using electronics. I imagine that most people that have found their way to the survey at all would score at least fifty percent. The whole thing is sort of arbitrary, really.
