Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) survey results on computer use among Singapore residents, from the long-running Annual Survey on Infocomm Usage in Households. The member dataset “Individual Computer Usage by Age” breaks adoption down by age group in CSV form. Face-to-face interviews of roughly 3,500 households and residents underpin the estimates, with sampling designed by the Department of Statistics. Coverage spans 2007–2018, offering a pre-smartphone-era view of digital inclusion. Researchers studying infocomm diffusion in Singapore rely on this established household survey series.
