Canadians' proficiency on the Internet
A new study released today categorizes Canadians into five Internet user groups based on their online activities and digital skills. Findings from "Internet-use Typology of Canadians: Online Activities and Digital Skills" show that more than a third of Canadians are classified as advanced users.
The Internet and digital technologies continue to reshape communities and society and have profound impacts on the lives of individuals. The ability to operate and adapt in light of this allows the users to benefit from the opportunities provided by the digital transformation and to avoid the associated risks.
