With regard to gender, 61 of the participants were male (51.45%), while 48 were female (43.64%). Only one person chose the third option (“other”) and another did not answer the question correctly, so the answer was discarded.
The third question measured how often participants access the Internet and 102 of the 111 respondents said they connect several times a day. This is more than 93%, and those who did not choose this option was due to the fact that they logged on just once a day (3 people) or several times a week (4 people). None of the participants said they connect less frequently or do not use the internet at all. This demonstrates the high level of regular Internet use by the young people interviewed.
