Reluctant to use social networking sites?  Don’t really like to use the browser on your smartphone?  You are not alone.  The Pew Internet & American Life Project reported the results of a survey,, which got picked up by mainstream media (and blogs, etc.) for some of the findings.  You can download the Adults and Social Network Websites report here .

What really got everyone’s attention was that there is a group labeled the "Ambivalent Networkers," those who aren’t really keen on all this networking.  And what was really interesting to many was that these are males in their late 20’s.  The AP picked up this story and reached a few conclusions that were not the only ones in the report.  Quoting from that article (and reported at TechnNewsWorld ), the Pew director, Lee Rainie said that technology "feels like an obligation."

Uh-huh.
