Characteristics of Adopters and Non-Adopters of Home Computers
Abstract
Adopters and non-adopters of home computers were contrasted in terms of their demographics, psychographics, and experiences with technical consumer products. Experiences with other computer-related products and services were found to play a major role in movement toward purchase of a home computer. Further, the profile of the adopter appears to be consistent with that of a particular type of creative consumer.

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.
