Half of Consumers Don't Upgrade Software

Thanks to Mashable and all their amazing reporting on all things social media, I found out that this is International Technology Upgrade Week.They posted an article on research conducted by Skype, Norton by Symantec and TomTom.

The survey commissioned by Skype indicates that nearly 40% of consumers in America, Britain and Germany don't update their software when first prompted. According to the press release, "...approximately one quarter of those surveyed said they don’t clearly understand what software updates do and an equal percentage of consumers don’t understand the benefits of updating regularly."

Check out the infographic below featuring all of the results from the Skype survey.
