| These metro areas stand above the rest for gadget ownership and use. The Gadget Census accumulated selective information from over 7500 households when it comes to the appliances humans own and how they use them. The final report analyzed per capita gadget selective information to find out which areas is worthy of to be recognized. And so, without farther ado, on with the awards. And the winners are… Emerging Technology Owners If you agree that owning appliances like iPads, netbooks, smartphones, and Blu-ray participants makes a person farther in front on the gadget curve than the CRT screen and VCR owners, then you won’t argue with New York being the metro area with more households housing emergent tech. Sorry, air conditioners didn’t make the list. Old Technology Owners Film cameras, feature phones, CRT TVs and VCRs may mark a buyer as more or less behind the times. The metro area winner with the most households likely to display 12:00 AM flashing on a VCR is Phoenix, Arizona. Being Green with Gadgets Being green with appliances not only means recycling your old gimmicks, but having more energy effective appliances in your household like flat panel TVs. It’s unsurprising that all those tree huggers in San Francisco helped the Bay Area come out on top with the greenest gadget households out there. Media Streamers And again, San Francisco scores another award as the metro area, having the most households who stream everything from music to TV shows. It’s not clear whether or not DirecTV ought to give up on the Bay Area, but it looks like a great deal of folks on the West Coast are becoming their TV online. TV Fanatics This award goes to the metro area with households that have an particular love affair with TVs. Households here have more TVs in more places (yes, TVs in the bath-room and garage). They record the most shows and watch more TV than any other area. And the winner is…the Atlanta metro area. |
