KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 -- A total 55.5 per cent of Malaysians say Internet information is sometimes trustworthy while 13.5 per cent do not think so, according to a new UCSI Poll Research Centre (UCSI-PRC) survey.
In a statement today, UCSI-PRC said their survey on digitalisation acceptance and readiness, involving 827 respondents in Malaysia, had a 3 per cent margin of error.
The survey also found that 44 per cent of people think that technology will help increase their income, 37.4 per cent think it will do the opposite, while 6 per cent think it will not make a difference.
"In the survey, 40 per cent of respondents admitted to being more productive with the use of an electronic device, 46.4 per cent said sometimes they were more productive and 13.5 per cent said their productivity had nothing to do with electronic device use," the statement added.
In the survey, 43 per cent believed jobs would be taken over by new technologies, while 38.6 per cent believed it would create more jobs.
UCSI-PRC said the survey showed that people know digitalisation is coming and welcome it.
"Although digitalisation is good, it can cause information overload, therefore people must learn to adapt and filter information," the statement said.
