The state has one of the highest literacy rates in India, and this has played a crucial role in the integration of technology into various aspects of daily life, including education, healthcare, and governance. The government's initiatives to promote digital literacy and provide internet connectivity in rural areas have further accelerated the integration of technology into society.
 
In terms of gadgets, smartphones have become ubiquitous in Kerala, with people from all walks of life relying on them for communication, entertainment, and accessing information. The popularity of social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram is also on the rise, allowing people to connect, share, and stay updated with the latest trends and news.
