The data in Table 50 indicated that not every receiver has access to acomputer. Those who do, however, represent a large majority (85.8percent).Where computer usage is concerned, the data presented in Table 51 reflectthat a good majority of the receivers (75.5 percent) use computers daily.Only one percent said that they have never used a computer before.TABLE 51.

A total of804 (17.4 percent) of those sampled did not respond to the question,perhaps because it was only applicable to those who were working. Table52 presents the data on this subject.TABLE 52. Computer Use at WorkDescription Frequency PercentageYes 2790 73.0No 1031 27.0Total 3821 100.0Table 53 provides a more detailed scenario of the purposes for whichcomputers are most popularly used. A total of 82.7 percent of therespondents said that they used it primarily for academic/trainingpurposes, a finding that is consistent with the fact that they werestudentsor trainees. Other purposes include the use of application software (73.1percent) and e-mail (72.2 percent). The high percentage is expected in theuse of e-mail because it is very popular among the younger generation.Chatting was popular among 43.9 percent of respondents, followed bydownloading of software (44 percent), and downloading of music (39.3Joint Study by MEWC and OUM 73
percent). Other uses of the computer included file sharing with friendsand colleagues, network games, e-discussions online, shopping andblogging. Table 53 displays the complete list of the most popular uses ofthe computer among receivers.TABLE 53.
