Text B Read the text and define your techno-type.

Technical professionals sometimes take for granted their ease with electronic marvels. Unfortunately, though, it seems that there is an ever-widening gap between the «knows» and the «know-nots». Recent studies point out that while the hardware is becoming more sophisticated, the users may not be keeping pace. Some people may even be classified as technophobic, and some are intimidated by computers and are afraid they may damage a PC if they use it without assistance, or would not use a computer unless forced to. Based on these findings, Dell Computers has developed a new approach to the

marvel — something (or someone) that causes

wonder and admiration; wonderful thing укр.

чудо, диво

it seems — укр. очевидно, певно, здається

gap — an empty space between two objects

укр. розрив

to intimidate — to frighten укр. лякати

afraid — full of fear, frightened, scared укр.

наляканий

findings — something learned as a result of

an official inquiry укр. отримані дані

computer business: techno-typing. Techno-typing is the key to helping people understand what computers can do specifically for them and how to find their perfect PC match. Dell is using the data to develop computers targeted at specific techno-types:

* Techno-Wizard: generally a technology expert or hobbyist who wants the hottest technology for the lowest price. Greatest concern is losing the edge.

* Techno-To-Go: wants a computer that comes ready to go right out of the box. Interested in what a computer can do but not in how it works. Greatest concern is being left alone without service and support.

* Techno-Boomer: wants to look smart; researches and seeks recommendations before making

a purchase. Greatest concern is making the wrong decision,

* Techno-Phobe: rejects technology or avoids it whenever possible.

* Techno-Teamer: uses a computer at work and as part of a network. Productivity is a primary concern for work that is largely team oriented. Greatest concern is network failure.

concern — a matter of interest, importance or worry to someone укр. важливість, турбота

purchase — укр. покупка
