Where's my Wireless?
For an in-depth look at who's buying what gadget, check out “The Technological Elite and Other Users,” a report from the Pew Internet and American Project. The survey enmeshes you in a bewildering array of groups like The Young Tech Elite, Older Wired Baby Boomers, Young Marrieds, Low-Tech Elderly, and most tantalizing, Wired Senior Men. If you can slog through the jargon, there's a lot of valuable information here. Young Marrieds, for instance, spend $124 a month on information goods. And the top spenders are not the pierced-tongue set; Older Wired Baby Boomers take the prize, forking out $175 a month for high-tech goodies.
Over There
With the U.S. economy in the doldrums, it may be worthwhile to take a trip across the pond. Citigroup Global Markets Group reports:
- Economic growth in Europe will outpace that of the U.S.
- The dollar will continue weak.
- Europe will be a safer place to conduct business than Asia.
- Inflation in the Euro Zone will drop to 2% or below.
- France, Germany, and Italy should exceed 3% GDP growth.
