DeVry University Measures Changes in Tech Habits and Fluency Due to COVID Pandemic
NAPERVILLE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today will mark the one-year anniversary since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic, ultimately turning the world upside down. Even with vaccines becoming available, the pandemic continues to reshape the nation’s health, family, work, education and social experiences — with technology playing a dominant role.
In a recent survey by DeVry University, findings demonstrate the role that technology played in both people’s mundane and significant life experiences. The survey also identified the technologies that will most likely continue to be influential in a post-COVID era.
Personal devices and entertainment systems have been a lifeline, but not all smart tech was essential.
Over 70 percent of respondents celebrated, learned and mourned virtually.
New technology skills acquired and expected to be used post-COVID to connect, eat and stay healthy:
While the COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down, it has held a significant role in shaping our tomorrow by accelerating our technology skills, knowledge and adoption. The survey findings show that some pandemic tech behaviors will outlast the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODOLOGY:
This online omnibus survey was conducted by Ipsos Observer among a representative U.S. sample of 1,005 adults 18 years of age and older. The survey was live on February 18-19, 2021.
