Using 2007 data from the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project, this study poses the question: ‘What are distinct groups within the African-American population with respect to technology ownership and Internet activity?’ Several findings are reported. Factor analysis reveals a structure of technology preferences for African-Americans. For the consumption of technology, two broad preferences present themselves: mainly consuming portable, ‘mobile technologies’ or mainly consuming ‘home technologies’. For Internet activity, the authors identify three preferences: a preference for youth-oriented Internet activity, information-oriented activity, or a preference for adult-oriented activity. Using classification and regression tree analysis, six distinct groups within the population present themselves, with education being the most important variable in creating these groups. The six groups vary widely on their technology and Internet preferences, suggesting that future research focusing on differences within the African-American population is needed
