Use of ICT at Home: over half of homes have a computer

Digital technology is relatively new, yet it is already approaching the near universal ownership levels of older technologies. In January to April 2006, 56 per cent of households in Great Britain had a desktop computer, 30 per cent had a portable or laptop computer, and 7 per cent had a handheld computer. During this period, 87 per cent of people aged 16 to 30 had used a computer in the previous three months compared with 45 per cent of those aged 50 and over.
