ACMA's How We Use The Internet report for 2023 is mildly interesting

It's a slow news day as we creep towards Christmas, so let's take a quick look at ACMA's freshly released "How We Use The Internet" report for 2023. There's a lot going on, but the most enlightening statistic to me is that only 41% of Australians use a desktop computer to access the internet. 74% use a laptop and 95% use a mobile phone. More people use tablets (52%) than desktop computers now. The demographic least likely to use a desktop computer are 25-34 year old people. The most common activity performed on the internet in the past 6 months is "access news", which 95% of people said they did in the last 6 months, with drops in "work from home", "video conferencing" and "telehealth consult". ACMA has a bunch of other fresh reports too like "How We Watch and Listen to Content" and "How We Communicate" you might find interesting.
