4 Internet use 4.1 Devices used to connect to the Internet Computer usage was low in Myanmar. In 2016, only two percent of the population owned and used a computer. Only three percent had ever used one. Seventeen percent didn’t know what a computer was (Figure 55). Nearly all those who owned and used computers lived in urban areas (Figure 56). However, in both urban and rural areas, a majority of respondents did not own or use a computer. Among the identified small group of computer users, only 16% were daily Internet users (Figure 54). Hence, in Myanmar, it is clear that the computer is not the device most frequently used to access the Internet. 2 1 11 80 Own and use Have used one, but don’t own one Don’t know what a computer is Don’t own or use one Figure 55: Ownership and use of a computer (% of population aged 15-65) Rural Urban 10 1 5 20 83 Own and use Have used one, but don’t own one Don’t know what a computer is Don’t own or use one 64 ICTs in Myanmar: 2016 80 Figure 56: Ownership and use of a computer – urban vs. rural (% of population aged 15-65)
