PC Enters 64.9 Percent of Households in Macao: Survey
Personal computer has entered 64.9 percent of households in Macao, according to a survey conducted by the Macao University, which was a part of the World Internet Project.

The survey result available Wednesday was based on random calls of 1,002 Macao residents aged between 18 to 74. It showed that 71.2 percent of the surveyed people have access to Internet, and 46.2 percent of them can log on the Internet at home.

Among the Internet population, 55.2 percent were male, and 31 percent below the age of 24. The averaged Internet hours were 9.8 hours per week.

The survey also suggested that although the use of PC and Internet is popular, Macao residents have not yet developed a habit of Internet purchasing with only 11.4 percent of Internet surfers having the experience of net purchasing, as compared to 33 percent in the Chinese mainland and 20 percent in Hong Kong.

The Internet survey project initiated by the University of California, the United States, has drawn interests from 20 experts from North American, European and the Asia Pacific regions.
