They are enjoying other basic conveniences of modern times, such as telephones, movies, televisions, and running water. Computers and the Internet are entering Tibetan schools, businesses, government offices, and social services. Children, middle-aged, and even old Tibetans like to watch TV at home.

(en) Isaac Stone Fish, Charity Case. Whether they like it or not, China has been very good for Tibetans, Newsweek Web, Feb 17, 2010 : « The other story is that, for China's many blunders in mountainous region, it has erected a booming economy there. Looking at growth, standard of living, infrastructure, and GDP, one thing is clear: China has been good for Tibet. Since 2001, Beijing has spent $45.4 billion on development in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). (That's what the Chinese government calls Tibet, even though many Tibetans live in neighboring provinces, too). The effect: double-digit GDP growth for the past nine years. About a third of the money went to infrastructure investment, including the train connecting Beijing to Lhasa. “A clear benefit of the train was that it makes industrial goods cheaper for Tibetans, who, like everyone else in the world, like household conveniences, but normally had to pay very high prices,” said Ben Hillman, a Tibet expert from the Australian National University's China Institute. The train also provides an opportunity for Tibetan goods to be sold outside of the region and for a massive increase in number of tourists, reaching more than 5.5 million in 2009—up from close to 2 million in 2005, the year before the train. »
