Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Technology adoption is growing across an increasingly ethnically diverse US. But different ethnic groups incorporate technology into their media, entertainment, and communication habits in different ways. Asian Americans — typical technology optimists and early adopters — incorporate the Internet and consumer devices more heavily for productivity and connecting with others, while African Americans typically expand their entertainment and educational options.
