IT budgets for businesses in the US will be mostly spent on security, and mobile devices allowing employees remote working, a new survey has shown.
According to a new survey by Wakefield, 30 percent of US businesses will spend most of their IT budgets on network and data security, and 28 percent will spend it on mobile devices allowing employees to work remotely.
The survey has polled 509 US small business owners, and business decision-makers at companies with 500 or fewer employees.
Other survey answers have shown that the average employee uses a printer approximately 10 times a day, and that the printer is the most common device in a company (84 percent), followed by a scanner (75 percent).
It was also interesting to see how often people bluff when faced with new technology. According to the report, 51 percent of people questioned have pretended to know more about how to operate a device than they actually did, a number which grows to 61 percent among millennials.
The report tops things off by exploring how many people take a real vacation -- completely isolating themselves from any and all work activity. Twenty-three percent of people questioned have never taken a real vacation, and among companies with 50 employees and less the number jumps to 36 percent.
