13-19:
E-PEDESTRIAN: You email, SMS and surf the web, but your affair with technology ends there. You've seen YouTube, blogs and MySpace but don't get off on them. Your emotional life is firmly in the real world.
0-12:
TECHNO-FOSSIL: You should be in a
museum. You've been left behind by the digital age. But remember: just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's bad.
