    • Consult consumer reports before making major purchases

  2. Some consumers feel more technology savvy than others. Examine the DDB data in Tables 1B through 7B to determine what characterizes one who is likely to feel tech savvy.
  3. Using Table 3B, specifically examine the relationship between consumer perceptions of being tech savvy and the two search-related variables in Question 1. What are the relationships and implications?
