More and more Spaniards pay for educational content on Smartphones and tablets

The tablets and smartphones have come into our lives to stay, and each time we make them more "ours" by downloading applications of different types according to our preferences. Among the applications that stand out the most, they seem to be the educational ones: 19% of Spaniards pay for educational contents in technological devices, a figure 14% higher than in 2014.

This means that one in five Spaniards pay regularly for this kind of contents in this type of devices, and thatThe increase is quite significant when comparing the figure with that of 2014, according to Samsung's Technomic Index 2015 study, which tries to identify how Spaniards interact with technology.


Mobile devices

The report focuses on the habits of European citizens around electronic devices and household appliances, and reveals some very interesting data: the Spanish invest more money per month in educational materials (an average of 16.30 euros) than what they pay, for example, for mobile games (12.13 euros).

"The exponential growth of digital media, a higher quality content and a greater number of devices they offer many more possibilities", as assured by the Director of International Relations, Communication and Corporate Citizenship of Samsung Spain, Francisco Hortigüela.


In this sense, he has defended that the growth of contents to which we can access are great since they allow us "explore the world, self-educate and enrich our experiences, all within our own homes. "

Streaming videos

Another interesting fact is that about half (47%) of the Spanish enjoy streaming videos regularly, and that digital books and other publications continue to be popular among 36 percent of the population. In fact, they all claim to read at least once a week.

On technology, the study shows that in the last 12 months there has been a significant increase in the adoption by consumers of theto 4G mobile technology, as well as an increase in hardware connected to the Internet, such asas Smart TV and tablets.


In this sense, the study reveals that 19 percent of Spaniards also opt for pay to watch streaming movies and TV shows, a percentage four times higher than the same report of 20014. It also ensures that the percentage of Spaniards who pay for digital publications has increased by 12 percent, reaching 2% of the population.

Technologies in the kitchen

When we talk about new technologies we tend to think of mobile phones and tablets, but the truth is that the Technology also surrounds us at home: television, appliances, etc., are also. In this sense, the filmmakers of the survey have wanted to know the use of kitchen appliances and cleaning at home.

On this, the report indicates that the number of citizens who use these devices every week has increased by up to 13 and 19 percent, respectively. For example, Kitchen appliances are used an average of one and a quarter hours per day.

The authors of the report give a possible reason for the increase in kitchen appliances: the proliferation of cooking programs, the increase of celebrity chefs and bloggers has contributed to the increase in demand for these devices: 91% of Spaniards use them every day.
