To measure the attitudes of the respondents, a stepwise triple scale was constructed according to Likert method, and the grades were allocated as follows (3), neutral (2) and disagree (1). This, and the degrees obtained by each respondent were collected to express the level of attitudes towards E-extension and its applications, and the total degrees of the subjects were divided according to the actual extent of the degrees. Data were collected by means of personal interview using a questionnaire prepared for this purpose. Percentages, and frequency distribution used for data processing and analysis using SPSS program. The results of the field research indicated that the attitudes of the respondents towards E-extension were positive, especially with regard to the use of the mobile phone in the extension work, and that the level of direction was high in all its applications except for electronic service as a final product of the indicative process was average, and perhaps This is due to the novelty of this service.
