A study from IBGE (the Brazilian Institute of Geografy and Statistics) showed that Brazilians are using digital technology a lot more now. Everybody has a cell phone nowadays. Computers, the internet and MP3s are now part of Brasilians everyday life. According to IBOPE (the Brazilian In stitute of Public Opinion and Statistics) 40 million people use the internet to help them at school or at work. And the vast majority are students and teachers. We can find everything on the net and its easy. Books are important, but I cant buy book, a student says. Another university student mentions that you can do your banking, buy products online, download your favorite music and movies with just a click, chat online and meet

new people. The study also showed this: in August 2008 the number of cell phones increased by 24.8% in relation to August 2007, and 80% of these cell phones were pay-as-you-go. And thats not all. Many people have two or three different cell phone chips. The virtual world is also changing the profile of Brazilians. More and more people prefer staying online to having a real relationship. A highly Brazilian newspaper has stated that Brazil is the country where internet users stay online the longest.
