Adoption and Utilization of Information Communication Technologies among Families in Lagos, Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Information and Communication Technology devices such as computers, Internet and cell phones are rapidly penetrating into many homes in Nigeria. Social critics have argued whether these devices result in either positive or negative change in the lives of families. The researchers examined the literature about family use of ICT and also looked at how these technologies affect families' social networks, work, and interventions with families. The researchers also surveyed 570 adult students to examine the adoption, utilization, and social impact of ICT among them and found that perceptions vary with the use of ICT in various families. Finally, the authors suggested directions for future research on communication technology within the context of families.
