When you get a new phone or tablet, how do you get to know it?

Select an answer:

First, I will thoroughly examine it and test what it can do. I would like someone to show me how to use it. I will read the instructions or watch a video with an explanation. I'll set it aside and start using it only when I really need it. I feel uncertain and would rather stick with the older device.

If you encounter a problem while using your computer or phone, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I'm looking for a solution on the internet or in the manual. I'm trying different options until I find a solution. I would like to ask my family or friends for help. I usually give up and leave the problem as it is. I will call an expert or I will go to the service.

If you had the opportunity to take a digital skills course, how would you respond?

Select an answer:

I would eagerly attend the course, looking forward to gaining new knowledge. I would consider it if it were recommended to me by acquaintances. I have a feeling that I'm having a hard time learning new things, but maybe I would give it a try. I don't see the point in it; for now, I can manage with my knowledge. I avoid similar courses; technology doesn't attract me.

How do you feel about the use of social media?

Select an answer:

I actively use them for communication and keeping up with news. Sometimes I visit them, but mostly I just passively watch the content. I use them only to stay in touch with family and close friends. I do not consider them important and do not pay much attention to them. I avoid them; I don't feel comfortable there.

Imagine that someone sends you an email with the message that you have won a large sum of money. How would you react?

Select an answer:

I will immediately verify the sender and the information about the winnings. I'll ask someone more experienced if it's a scam. I ignore it; such things don't seem trustworthy to me. I would hesitate, but I might reply out of curiosity. I'll try my luck and provide the requested information.

If you had the opportunity to have a home assistant with artificial intelligence (e.g., a voice assistant), how would you feel about it?

Select an answer:

It would be interesting, I would like to try it. I might use it for simple tasks, like playing music. I don't see much sense in it; I can manage without it. I have concerns about such technologies; I'm not sure if I can trust them. I definitely wouldn't want it; technology has no place in my life.

If you need to take care of something, such as paying bills or scheduling an appointment, what method do you prefer?

Select an answer:

I am arranging it online, it's fast and convenient. I am trying to use internet services, but I don't always navigate them well. I prefer phone contact; it seems easier to me. I prefer to go in person; I have the assurance that everything will be taken care of correctly. I leave it to family or friends, I prefer not to get involved.

What is your stance on online shopping?

Select an answer:

I shop online regularly, it is convenient. Sometimes I order something if I know it is reliable. I prefer shopping in person; I want to see what I'm buying. Shopping online does not appeal to me; it seems too complicated. I don't trust online shopping, I'm afraid of scams.

How do you perceive technological changes in the world?

Select an answer:

I am excited; technology brings many opportunities. I watch them, but I don't always understand everything. Sometimes I worry about where all of this is heading. It seems to me that the world is going too fast, and I find it hard to adapt. Technological changes no longer interest me; they are not important to me.

Imagine that you could teach younger people something from your experiences. How would you combine that with modern technologies?

Select an answer:

I would like to utilize technology to share my knowledge. Maybe I would learn to work with something new if someone helped me. I would share my experiences in person, not through technology. I can't imagine how I would connect that with the modern world. I don't think I have anything to offer, the young ones already know everything better.
