Part two of the 2020 Sign of the Times survey by Behaviour & Attitudes is published by The Irish Times. Since 2012, Behaviour & Attitudes has been tracking the use of and attitudes towards technology in Ireland. The evidence from this year’s Sign of the Times survey is that Ireland was, in fact, reasonably well enabled with the technology required to do so, in advance of the pandemic striking. For example, over a third of the population report checking their work emails while on holiday, as they feel it is expected of them. Perhaps in five years’ time, the B&A Sign of the Times survey will be reporting on a shift from technology as lifestyle enabler to life saver.
