The COVID-19-induced state of emergency in Ecuador necessitated compulsory isolation for most of the people. During this period, there was a rise in the utilization of technical equipment as individuals had to perform their tasks remotely from their homes. This study sought to assess the utilization of technology resources during the period of quarantine, necessitating the creation of a survey. Specific indicators were considered and standardized for processing. The data processing techniques employed were the Hierarchical Analytical Process and Logic Scoring of Preference. The key findings indicate that the indicators "Modes of Use," "Use Preferences," "Daily Usage Frequency," and "Monthly Expenditure" are crucial for measuring the composite indicator "use of technological tools." A survey was created to contribute to the research.
