You are an Ambivalent Networker

If you are an Ambivalent Networker, you have folded mobile devices into how you run your social life, whether through texting or online social networking tools. You also rely on ICTs for entertainment. At the same time – perhaps because of the volume of digital pings from others – you may sometimes find all your connectivity to be intrusive. You are confident in your ability to troubleshoot your various information devices and services.

The text posted above is the result of a test which we had to do for our class on new media. What kind of tech user are you?
Up until today I had the feeling that concerning the internet and other technical devices I am a bit old-fashioned or rather nostalgic. I do not stay tuned to the internet all day, I seldom watch videos on you tube and I neither have a profile on facebook nor on myspace. I prefer to read the newspaper for current news instead of checking spiegel online. So you see I am definitely not a web-adherer. And I tended to think that this is not "normal" because a lot of my friends cling to their laptops...But the test proved me wrong. It seems as if I am a very skilled internet user and that I can cope with every technical device that crosses my way. So far I didn´t recognize this ability of mine - but I accept it and feel relieved that I do not have to worry about being regarded backward anymore.
