Technology at Home
Cellular phone,
computer, and cable TV
are the information
technologies which have
most permeated Costa
Rican households in the
last seven years.
In the year 2000, only
11% enjoyed a mobile
phone; last year had
climbed to 60%;
computers went from 12%
to 32%; and cable TV
increased from 12.5% to
28.5%.
The data surfaced in the
yearly survey on
telecommunications by
the National Statistics
and Census Bureau.
In addition, 99% enjoy
electricity, 95% a color
television, and 66% a
home phone.
However, Technology
Research Club chairman
Roberto Sasso asserted
that even though the
trend is in the right
direction, it is too
slow. |
