Use of Digital Devices by Digital Immigrants and Digital Natives

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions and habits of Bulgarian users in the context of the use of digital devices and technologies, as well as user experience (UX).The research was conducted from September 2020 to February 2023, with 197 individuals living in Bulgaria, primarily students, as well as a small number of adults.Two types of surveys were used to collect data: the first focuses on the use of information and communication technologies and UX evaluation, while the second focuses on the use of digital devices in everyday life and their significance for education and entertainment.The results show differences between age and educational groups in terms of device usage habits, work and entertainment habits, and perceptions of UX for technologies such as virtual reality (VR).

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions and habits of Bulgarian users in the context of the use of digital devices and technologies, as well as user experience (UX).The research was conducted from September 2020 to February 2023, with 197 individuals living in Bulgaria, primarily students, as well as a small number of adults.Two types of surveys were used to collect data: the first focuses on the use of information and communication technologies and UX evaluation, while the second focuses on the use of digital devices in everyday life and their significance for education and entertainment.The results show differences between age and educational groups in terms of device usage habits, work and entertainment habits, and perceptions of UX for technologies such as virtual reality (VR).
