If you are reading this post from your mobile device or from your wireless laptop at a coffee shop, your Internet habits are in the minority, according to a Monday report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

About 39 percent of the population embraces technologies that allow for on-the-go access like smartphones and wireless-enabled laptops, but 61 percent of people polled by Pew prefer to stay in their less connected comfort zone.

"Not everyone has the wherewithal to engage with 'always present' connectivity and, while some may love it, others may only dip their toes in the wireless water and not go deeper," wrote report author John Horrigan, associate director at Pew.

That is not to say that this group is sticking to dial up and eschewing cell phones - many have mobile phones and high-speed access -- but they are not exactly going to be lining up at the Apple store for the next iPhone or blowing their paycheck on the Palm Pre.

The report split this 61 percent into five groups: the desktop veterans, drifting surfers, information encumbered, the tech indifferent, and off the network. Desktop veterans (13 percent) are likely to have embraced the Internet early on but are content to remain on desktops with high-speed Internet connections, and are not particualarly interested in the mobile web. Drifting surfers (14 percent), meanwhile, have the tech hookup, like cell phones and high-speed access, but just don't make the effort to go online very much. If they do, it is for basic information, and this group would not be bothered if they had to give up their cell phone or the Web.

What group do you fall into? Check out the full report on the Pew Web site.
