基于2013年欧洲晴雨表数据,分析了芬兰、英国和希腊三国在互联网接入和文化用途上的数字鸿沟,发现阶级和地位因素对数字鸿沟的影响因国家而异。
This article examines the digital divide in terms of access and the cultural use purposes of the Internet in Finland, the United Kingdom, and Greece. The analysis is based on data from Finnish, British, and Greek sections of Eurobarometer collected in 2013 (N = 3,009). Separate measures for class and status are applied in the analysis. The findings indicate that both access to and use of the Internet for cultural purposes are affected by a number of interdependent factors, whose effects and strengths vary significantly among the countries.
