7.6. How ICTs have enhanced the rural women's quality <strong>of</strong> life<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> arguments have been raised as to whether or not ICTs<br />

Respondents were expected to answer the question based on areas in which<br />

ICTs have served them best. In this question, the scale <strong>of</strong> 4 denoted a high<br />

and favourable response, (i.e. "always"), followed by 3 (Le. "<strong>of</strong>ten"), 2 (i.e.<br />

"sometimes"), 1 (i.e. "never") and a "not applicable" scale. By calculating<br />

the average for each area listed, the study was able to arrive at conclusive<br />

remarks.<br />
