The purpose of this article is to explore whether disabled people benefit from technological progress. According to the database of Survey Research Data Archive (SRDA) of the Central Research Institute, in 2015, 4,010 surveies were conducted. After reviewing and deleting missing samples, only 2,129 individuals were used as study samples. It is aimed to explore whether the disabled have different options for using the Internet activities, online financial services, online consumption, and online discussion forums with different backgrounds. In the empirical model, Probit regression model and IvProbit regression model are conducted in this paper.
