TECHNOLOGY NOW THE REAL UTILITY!

Two-thirds prefer to stay connected rather than warm!

With the ever-increasing role played by technology in every sphere of life, consumer spending on connecting to the Internet, subscribing to online services, mobile communication, and multimedia entertainment has also risen. The survey results offer an interesting insight into today's 'digital homes' because people use many devices and services to perform various tasks, stay connected, entertain themselves, and do lots more. According to the findings from an iYogi customer survey, based on responses from nearly 1100 respondents, technology bills won over utility bills.

Clearly, devices and technology-based services are becoming the essentials of a household – in fact, they are now the real 'utilities' without which people can't live out their everyday. In the future, technology bills are likely to keep increasing with the proliferation of Internet enabled consumer electronic devices, increasingly interactive platforms and improved services.
