Abstract:
Our study dealt with the issue of the consumption of information and
communication technology in the time of the Corona pandemic
(Covid 19) by Algerian youth, a field study on a sample of the youth
of the state of Ghardaia. Information and communication technology
used by the youth of Ghardaia during the Corona pandemic, as well as
the habits and motives for its use.
In our study, we relied on the descriptive survey method using the
questionnaire tool, by designing a questionnaire consisting of a set of
axes, which was published electronically in order to obtain an
available sample of 400 young people from the state of Ghardaia.
- In the end, we reached results, the most important of which is the
large consumption of information and communication technology by
the youth of the state of Ghardaia during the pandemic, where the
smartphone and computer took the lead in use, and the reason for
“selling and buying products” is a primary motive for the study
sample in its consumption of information and communication
technology during the outbreak of the Corona virus. In Algeria, the
study also recorded during this period a large consumption of social
networking sites, especially “chat” with very high rates among the
youth of the state of Ghardaia.
