MetaFacts TUP/Technology User Profile analysis results for subscribers
Home printers are a regular part of life for three-quarters of online adults in the US, UK, Germany, and Japan. This MetaFAQs uses home printer activities to segment home printer users into five groups, from those focused on home economics or sharing with others to others working from home. Further, it details the size of each segment for each country surveyed.
Printers are a regular part of the lives of online adults. How people use their printers varies by their employment status, particularly if they work from home. This MetaFAQs details the printing activities among online adults in the US, UK, Germany, and Japan, based on whether they work from home, are not working from home, or not working outside the home.
Almost a quarter of all online American adults print recipes. And although the age skews higher, this is not always the case. Gender plays a role to an extent, but much less so in the younger age groups.
This MetaFAQs reports on online American adults in 2021 who print recipes based on age, age and gender, employment status, and life stage.
Despite the increasing presence of navigation assistance across many devices—and cars—nearly 1 out of 5 Americans still print maps or directions.
This MetaFAQs reports on those online Americans in 2021 who print maps or directions by age group, age and gender, employment status, life stage, technology ecosystem involvement, and technology ecosystem entrenchment.
In an increasingly digital age, printing is still necessary for some. And sometimes on a large scale. 15% of all online American adults report using a computer printer to print 100 or more pages per month.
This MetaFAQs reports on those American adults in 2021 who print more than 100 pages a month by age group, age and gender, employment status, life stage, number of home PCs, and technology ecosystem entrenchment.
Among socioeconomically advantaged groups of American online adults, the use of home printers has grown between 2018 and 2021. Nationwide, however, and especially among disadvantaged groups, home printer use has declined. This MetaFAQs reports on the active use of home printers by American socioeconomic groups. The groups being reported consider age group, employment status, household size, ethnicity, presence of children, educational attainment, and other socioeconomic factors.
Many employees working from home need connected devices to work or to communicate. This TUPdate reports on the collection of actively used connected devices, comparing what is being used by employees working from home, employees not working from home, and adults not employed outside the home. These are split by form factor as well as operating system family.
Employees who have had prior experience working from home have different and more intense technology purchase plans than those who are new to working from home or that have never worked from home. This TUPdate identifies purchase plans for a selection of home office products among employees comparing their previous experience working from home.
Smartphone & PC purchase plans are robust. This MetaFAQs reports on the purchase plans for the next 12 months among online Americans, split by products type (PCs – desktops versus laptops/notebooks, mobile phones – iPhones versus Android, and other technology products).
In these extraordinary times of change, we have released a small number of top-line observations based on preliminary results from TUP 2021 findings. This MetaFAQs includes observations of purchase plans based on preliminary results from TUP 2021, based on over 7,500 American respondents, of which almost 5,000 respondents have any purchase plans for PCs, smartphones, tablets, printers, or wearables. (The final results will be much larger in scope–based on results from over 13,500 respondents in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and China.) Planners of note include Americans working from home and Americans planning to purchase a tablet or wearables.
