In this article it talks about how Spanish households are the most reluctant in Europe to use new technologies. It turns out 45 % of Spanish homes are against using the latest technology in their lives. Their study was based on the four main communication technology services: Internet, mobile phones, landline phones, and digital/ satellite tv. The results showed that 23% of the Spanish household are on the edge of the digital age and have an "emotional barrier" to new technologies. On average each house has 1.3 services in their homes and they dont like services such as Internet because the believe they are a waste of time. Overall only 5% of the population show real interest towards switching to newer technology services in their home.
I think this news is very sad. Here in the United States I think we are very modern. I mean if you think about it, new cell phones are being released every month. Apple is also continuing to make new products like the iPhone and iPad. These are very popular and top sellers in the United States. It's surprising to me that Spain is not into new technology since they are known for their Tourism. People are always coming in and leaving, so why aren't more new products being discovered?
