The development of the information society in Poland, as a key component of
socio-economic progress, is evidenced by a range of indicators, one of which is the use of
information and communication technologies in households.
Material and methods: The research used statistical data from the CSO database collected
through face-to-face and telephone interviews (by interviewers) and through an online
survey. The research was conducted in 2022, and the subject of the study was the use of
ICT in households in 2021.
Results: The analysis, based on 2021 CSO data, reveals that central Poland shows the
highest rates of ICT use, suggesting a.o. better infrastructure and availability of digital
services. Western Poland also records good results, while eastern Poland lags behind in
many of the analyzed areas.
Conclusions: The considerations carried out underscore the need to develop policies
that promote the even development of the information society in order to reduce regional
disparities.
