One in ten young people online have a shortfall in computing knowledge

Almost one in ten young people have a shortfall in computing knowledge according to a report into the state of the Nations tech know-how. The YouGov online survey of 4,500 consumers, conducted by leading PC manufacturer HP, found that 9% of respondents aged 18-34 considered their knowledge of computers and technology to be low compared to 61% who considered themselves to have a medium level of knowledge.

In an age where computers are central to so many parts of life, this knowledge gap is something the younger generation is conscious of. More than a third (38%) of 18-34 year olds that responded to the survey said that they felt there was a gap between their current and desired level of understanding when it comes to computers.

For almost half of adults online, getting to grips with their computer doesnt stop at simply using it – 46% felt it was very important to also have some knowledge of computer maintenance. With this in mind, and with a nod to the Nations love of DIY, 58% of all respondents would usually attempt to fix their own computer if it wasnt working at its full potential.

The research was conducted to mark the launch of the UKs first HP Total Care Centre, a destination offering a fully integrated service for customers seeking advice, guidance or looking to get their PC serviced. Located in Londons Paddington Basin, the Total Care Centre gives HP customers a chance to interact directly with a team of expert staff and partners in order to get the best out of their computer and learn more about how to use and maintain it.

Paul Hunter, General Manager of HP UK & Ireland, commented, Its concerning to see that people dont feel that they have the skills they need when it comes to using a computer. Given the current challenges of the economy, its important that all generations are equipped with the skills they need to be competitive in the workplace and beyond. As such, Im excited by the launch of the HP Total Care Centre we consider this to be an innovative investment in customer engagement, working with HP customers to enrich their experience of using a PC to ensure they get the best from it.

The HP Total Care Centre is open to the public now as the first of its kind in the UK. The expert team of advisors stationed on site will welcome any existing HP customers or those wanting to learn more about HP personal computers.

HP Customers that would like to gain more computing confidence and independence can also attend a free seminar called Getting started with HP. The weekly, hour long sessions starting later this month will cover a range of topics including software protection, how to guides and guidance on getting the most from a PC.
