Survey Finds Nearly Half of Consumers Fail To Upgrade Software Regularly And One Quarter of Consumers Don’t Know Why To Update Software

A Skype blog reports that Skype, together with other top brands in consumer technology like Norton and TomTom, are kicking off International Technology Upgrade Week which began July 23rd, and spreading the word about why it’s important to keep your software in top condition – access to cool new features and ensuring you have the latest security updates being chief reasons.

Throughout International Technology Upgrade Week, Skype will provide helpful content about the benefits of upgrading, as well as tips and tricks to make sure that your software is operating at peak performance.

As part of International Technology Upgrade Week, Skype surveyed consumers in the UK, U.S. and Germany to learn more about their behaviors and attitudes related to regular software updates, and created an infographic that summarizes their findings, hoping it will encourages users to update their software to get access to new features and peak performance from the applications and devices they’re using.
