Association between Use of Internet Services and Quality of Life in Taiwan

[摘要] The study explored the association between the use of Internet services and quality of life in Taiwan. The use of broadband, wireless, and mobile Internet is found to be positively correlated with the people’s overall quality of life. The more the Internet services of e-Government are used, the higher the satisfaction with social-economic status and social competence. People using more Internet services in their daily activities also have higher self-esteem and less psychological pressures. However, people who deeply rely on Internet services for e-Business such as online shopping or ticket booking have lower satisfaction with community support.
