SINGAPORE (April 4): Despite widespread utility of digital services across the globe, a range of basic, self-fulfillment and psychological needs are still failing to be met, suggests a recent survey by Dentsu Aegis Network in partnership with Oxford Economics.

Based on the Digital Society Index 2019: Human Needs in a Digital World report released on Thursday, a survey of over 43,000 people in 24 countries across the dimensions of dynamism, inclusion and trust, 71% of respondents in Asia Pacific countries think technology’s pace of change is currently too fast, well above the average of 57%.

The region also saw 67% of respondents (versus 58%) globally express the view that not enough is being done to ensure digital technology benefits everyone in society, rather than a select few.
