Usage of Traditional Devices for Media Activities
Description
This Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) survey dataset measures how far people in Singapore used traditional media devices such as television and newspapers for various media activities between 2013 and 2015. Each row records the survey year, the respondent age group, the media activity in question, the sample size behind the estimate, and the percentage who had ever used a traditional device for it. Reporting sample size alongside the estimate lets users judge how reliable each figure is before drawing conclusions. The series is useful for tracking the shift from traditional to digital media consumption in Singapore and for comparing media habits across age groups.
