Madrid, on July 30, 2009 - MuyComputer, has elaborated a report on technology and connection to Internet in the fireplace among his readers. In the same one information is compiled on the use of the technology in the fireplace, the number of computers, the expense in technology of the families, and diverse parameters on the connection to Internet, and the use of routers in particular domiciles. The report has been based on a survey realized to 1.983 active users of computer science from June 22 to July 22, 2009.

One of the paragraphs distinguished from MuyComputer’s study has been that of the expense in computer material. 76 % of the users has spent 400 Euros or less in technology for the fireplace in the last six months. Of them, 36 % has spent among 100 and 400 Euros and the rest less than 100 Euros, which points at the band of price of the netbook and of the components of computer. This remains reflected in another result of the survey, in which it appears that 19 % has bought the portable one as last acquisition in computer material, whereas 23 % has acquired components or mice and keyboards to complement his computer.

Is confirmed the declivity of the sales of the computers of tablecloth, which only suppose 8 % of the last acquisitions realized for the fireplace during the last semester. In spite of it, the computer of tablecloth continues being present in the fireplaces; almost a third of the polled ones only has this type of PC. This reveals that the park of the computers of tablecloth is something antiquated. In the area of the software, music, movies and games the expense also is low, with 92 % of the users that has spent in this type of products 200 Euros or less in the last six months.

On the use of PCs, the consulted ones for MuyComputer affirm that principally they use the computer to sail or to use services related to Internet. 70 % of the polled ones affirms that they use the computer principally for the Network. Only 6 % destines principally the computer for games, which appears to that little by little the consoles go being established as the principal alternative in this area. On the serious uses of the domestic computer, 9 % admits that I use the prinicipal is the performance of office computer activities. The edition of images or video only they suppose 7 % of the whole.

In the paragraph relative to the connection the polled ones say to Internet to be satisfied or very satisfied by his connection of information. 14 % considers his very satisfactory connection, whereas 60 % qualifies it of acceptably. The majority continues being a public inspector to the ADSL, with 70 % of the polled ones that use this connection. The connections for cable already suppose 21 %, an important number.

It calls the attention that there is still a valuable number of users, 3 %, which continue using a telephonic modem to connect to the Network, number that overcomes 2 % that connects across 3G.

In MuyComputer’s report it has been payed attention also to the use of the router, an element for the connection to Internet that also can be in use for forming a local domestic network or safety systems against the external threats. Nevertheless, the result of the survey reveals that the use of the router in the fireplaces is infrautilizado. Only 24 % uses it for the connection among computer equipments inside the fireplace, and 10 % to connect other devices among yes and to Internet. Nevertheless, the great majority uses the router as simple modem to accede to Internet, 66 %.

On the safety options, few users extract profit or know the possibilities of configuration of ports or exclusion of connections, even they do not know the possibility of changing parameters of the connection WiFi. 36 % has never touched his router.
