Nervous Britons - Internet & Computers
Posted: 03rd Oct, 2003 By: MarkJ
New research commissioned by Computeractive magazine has found that, out of 2000 UK adults, over 50% are still nervous about using the Internet and e-mails. 42% aren't even confident enough to use a computer:
Of those who use PCs, over 80% do not use them to their full potential and many do not want to learn more. Computeractive magazine, who commissioned the research, believe that one of the most concerning aspects is that people are not interested in learning more about computing.
"It is increasingly hard to avoid technology in everyday life, never mind at work," said James Harding, the magazine's editor.
Andrew Pinder, the government's man in charge of getting the country's businesses and people online by 2005, said he hoped that events like National Computing Day would help change people's minds.
Amazingly just 28% believed that knowing about computing is important in the 21st century. More @ BBC News Online.
