Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive examination of the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in households, in accordance with recent survey data. The inquiry concentrates on the dynamic adoption and utilization trends of several ICT technologies, including computers, internet, mobile phones, and television. It is important to note that the data indicates a substantial increase in the utilization of these technologies, which is indicative of their indispensable role in contemporary domestic activities. However, the research emphasizes a substantial decrease in the utilization of fixed phones, suggesting a transition in communication preferences toward more adaptable and mobile alternatives. Furthermore, there is a fascinating pattern in the utilization of radio: an initial decrease followed by a revival, indicating a renewed fascination or adjustment of radio in modern media consumption. This pattern may be linked to the integration of radio into digital platforms and the variety of material that appeals to a broader audience. The investigation gives unique insights into the shifting landscape of home ICT usage, underlining the consequences for service providers, regulators, and scholars interested in the interface of technology and daily life. The findings emphasize the importance of continuing monitoring and adaptation to shifting trends in order to better understand the drivers of technology adoption and establish policies that encourage the accessibility and usability of ICT in the home.
