Nearly nine out of 10 Italians have
pretended to know the true meaning of a technology-related word
at least once, according to an annual Samsung research study
released on Wednesday.
The 2016 TechHabits report said that 87% of respondents
said they pretended to know the meaning of a tech term that they
didn't actually know, with the terms "cloud" and "emoji" the
least-understood among Italians.
Nearly one in three Italians (32%) said that unclear
terminology limits them in making the best use of their devices,
higher than the European average of 23%.
The study said 40% of Italians are interested in new
technologies and 59% use more technology today than they did two
years ago, which is higher than in the U.S. where the rate is
52%.
"We're committed to promoting the spread of a culture of
innovation in our country, to support Italian cultural, social
and economic growth," said Mario Levratto, Head of Marketing and
External Relations, Samsung Electronics Italia.
