Abstract

As the personal computer's capability to function as an interactive multimedia entertainment and information provider increases, the implications of its future development on the print, broadcast, and cable television industries are of great interest to society. This study visits the most important question facing the personal computer phenomenon at present— adoption—by examining adoption rate and adopter types and their relations to potential adoption barriers, media use patterns, existing communication technology ownership and social locators. Even though the study provided only an exploratory examination of the proposed model, the findings offer a reasonable level of support for the theoretical framework outlined.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
