One in five Germans (19%) has no computer skills. This corresponds to a good 13 million Germans aged 14 and over. A similar number of people (22%) have at least basic knowledge, i.e. can install a program or use simple office applications: Intermediate knowledge of computers is reported by 37% of Germans. Only one in five (19%) consider themselves to have high or very high computer skills. The data is based on a representative survey conducted by Bitkom Research in collaboration with Aris.
