The Media Development Authority released results of a survey
about Internet use in Singapore. It found that about a third of
Singaporean Internet users aged 15 to 49 years old are creating
their own online content.
More results:
About 50% of 15-19-year-olds and 46% of 20-24-year-olds create
content. (The numbers are greater if occasional bloggers/podcasters
are taken into account.)
65% of 15-49-year-olds use the Internet in their daily lives.
55% rated themselves as at least moderately able to analyse and
discern information on the Internet (four or above on a scale of
seven). Teenagers rated themselves more highly.
36% of 39-49-year-olds are at least moderate users, compared to 70%
among teens.
MDA surveyed about 1,000 people face-to-face between July and
August.
MDA will use the results to get more people to be savvy and
comfortable users of new media.
