Jeanne Bowman is an active, healthy, $80-$year$-$old widow and mother of five grown children who range in age from $42$ to $60$ years old. She is well$-$informed and very conservative in her social and political views. Like many people in her age group, she is cautious when it comes to high$-$technology products, but in the last three years, she has purchased a cell phone and learned to use e$-$mail, mainly due to the urging of her children and friends. She has just decided to purchase a DVD player because she watched a DVD movie at her daughter's home and really liked the quality of the picture. As was the case with her other high$-$tech purchases, a family member will accompany her when she buys the DVD player. Regarding Jeanne's adoption of DVD technology, she seems to be in the $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$ group.
