This is the digital landscape regarding the adoption of incoming technologies among Canadians.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the global economy is upon us and emerging digital technologies close in on worldwide economies, Canadians see change regarding technology adoption.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Alberta has the highest
percentage of Internet users in Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n

Regarding the use of Internet, files from Statistics Canada<\/a> prove that nearly all Canadians under the age of 45 use it every day.<\/p>\n

Canadians under the age of 45 years old make up for 55.5% of the total population<\/a> in the Northern country.<\/p>\n

Access to Internet, according to data, is made up by the use of smartphones, laptops or netbooks, tablets, desktop computers and digital video camera other than the smartphone, as they become the top 10 devices used in Canada.<\/p>\n

Perception of technology<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Regarding benefits and perception, 77% of Canadians aged\u00a015\u00a0and older reported that technology helps them to communicate with others.<\/p>\n

66% others felt that it saves them time while 52% stated that it helps to make more informed decisions. Another 36% felt that it helps one to be more creative.<\/p>\n

These represents a contrast to its elder counterpart, as those aged\u00a075\u00a0and older were consistently the least likely to agree that technology helped them achieve these benefits.<\/p>\n

Canadians and balance in a tech-fueled lifestyle<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Information from the 2016 General Social Survey<\/a> showed that, over the previous eight years, the proportion of working Canadians who were either satisfied or very satisfied with their work-life-balance declined by\u00a010\u00a0percentage points, dropping from\u00a078% in 2008 to\u00a068% in\u00a02016.<\/p>\n

The same study proved women were somewhat less likely than men to be very satisfied or satisfied with their work-life balance (66% versus\u00a070% respectively). Canadians with children (67%) and those without children (69%) reported feeling this way in nearly equal proportions<\/p>\n

Digital adoption in Canadian small businesses<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Most small business owners<\/a> have an online presence (93 per cent) and regard digital technology adoption as extremely or very important to their company\u2019s success (86 per cent).<\/p>\n

When it comes to starting a business, w omen are 20% less likely to adopt new technologies than men, and immigrant entrepreneurs are twice as likely to integrate digital technologies into their companies than those born in Canada.<\/p>\n

Unprecedented opportunities and a useful expansion are what Canadians can win while embracing the digital adoption, however, not doing so thoroughly can compromise the capacity of businesses to compete in today\u2019s digital world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
