Just a shake-up of traditional media or death rattles?
It's a landscape cluttered with different measures - tarps, page views, clicks, average issue readership, etc. But where are the consumers? Where are the $s?
This Roy Morgan State of the Nation 17, with a spotlight on the Australian Media landscape, puts the focus back on people. It provides a structured, forensic analysis of all media using three consistent frameworks to understand the changes that have happened and that are still happening.
You really need to understand how the new media landscape is changing people's lives - especially your own.

8. Roy Morgan Research Technology Adoption
Segments
Launched in May 2012, the Roy Morgan Research Technology Adoption Segments categorise the population into six
segments according to their uptake of new technologies.
The segments are:
Technology Early Adopters: Always first to purchase and use new technologies, these people are well educated with high
incomes and risk-taking tendencies.
Professional Technology Mainstream: Ambitious individuals who adopt technology fairly early for career and time-saving
purposes.
Digital Life: Typically students and young part-time workers, this segment is fast to adopt new technology and especially
those with social and entertainment related applications.
Older Tech Explorers: Generally older, this segment is passionate about new technology but cautious about spending
money on it.
Technology Traditionalists: Usually aged 45+, these individuals are wary of change and only adopt new technology once it
has become mainstream.
Technophobes: The oldest segment, technophobes aren’t so much scared of new technology as uninterested, preferring
more traditional pursuits (TV, gardening, reading, etc.).
