MALAYSIA HAS HIGHEST RATE OF DIABETES IN ASIA
KUALA LUMPUR: Sixty-nine per cent of Malaysians will not be able to stop using their mobile phones, even for one day.
That is according to a new State of Digital Lifestyles report from Limelight Networks Inc, which also ranks Malaysians as the most addicted to their digital devices, followed by Indians.
When it comes to e-books, Malaysia scores the highest among the countries surveyed — 74.7 per cent of them prefer digital books.
Respondents in 10 countries — Malaysia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States — were asked how they interacted with digital media and the impact of technology in their lives.
Limelight Networks said computers were the second most integral technology for Malaysians, with 43.4 per cent saying they could not go a day without theirs.
As for the most commonly accessed online content among Malaysians, music comes in at No. 1, followed by movies and television shows and apps. Malaysians are not fans of paid content, however, and are least likely to shell out for online services.
The report is based on responses from 5,000 consumers in the 10 countries, aged 18 and above, who had downloaded softwares or streamed online videos or music in the last month.
