23. Appliances, and information, and communication technology (ICT)
These questions distinguish whether the dwelling occupants have appliances and technology services used for information and communication. Search for each good or service, listen the answer and circle the corresponding codes to the answer of the informant.

[Figures are omitted]

  • A radio refers to anything that makes possible to hear some frequency (AM and FM) of massive broadcasting, which includes radio, radio-recording, radio-alarm clock, and modular radio device, as well as devices that have this function, such as cell phones and music players, when this use is indicated by the informant.
  • The occupants have TV if the dwelling has a device that reproduces audiovisual signals of television in any form, model, or type of signal.
  • The flat screen TV is a device that receives the digital signal. Record that they do have this TV type even if it is the same TV indicated in the previous option.
  • The option "computer" includes desktop and portable computers, such as laptop, tablet, or notebook.
  • The occupants have Internet access if they access to this communication means, regardless the device they use (desktop, laptop, cell phone, among others).
  • The option "cable television" includes any type of provider and technology, either cable, antenna, among others; you can even mention provider names such as VeTv, Dish, Cablemas, Megacable, Sky, TvCable, or others that you have in your work area.
  • Consider that the occupants have devices or services if they are in working conditions or if the informant says that are damaged but they will take them to repair.
  • If the respondent reports that a device belongs to the company or institution where one household member works, record that they do not have that appliance.
