Full textDurante la última década, Internet se ha convertido en un aspecto crucial de las redes basadas en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, rompiendo las barreras de comunicación entre culturas al permitir el acceso a casi cualquier servicio en todo el mundo. Además de la expansión de Internet en todo el mundo, las redes sociales, las plataformas en línea y otras tecnologías digitales han cambiado radicalmente nuestra vida diaria. Como resultado, Internet es quizás el aspecto más visible de la globalización y una fuerza impulsora que integra a casi todas las industrias. Aunque la tecnología digital se está extendiendo rápidamente, la mayoría de la población no disfruta de los beneficios. Las divisiones digitales han surgido en el uso de Internet y las redes sociales, y en la realización de actividades en línea. Inicialmente, la brecha digital se refería a la brecha entre grupos de personas con acceso a tecnologías y aquellos con acceso restringido o ninguno. Sin embargo, la evidencia ha demostrado que el concepto es más complejo que el mero acceso a dispositivos digitales. En los últimos 15 años, los investigadores han intentado producir una explicación completa de las diferentes brechas digitales. Para comprender mejor las relaciones entre los diferentes niveles de brecha digital, van Dijk y sus asociados desarrollaron sus recursos y la teoría de la apropiación (van Dijk, 2005, 2020). La teoría RA propone un modelo secuencial para explicar la relación entre diferentes niveles de brecha digital y cómo se producen y reproducen las desigualdades sociales. El modelo secuencial muestra que el proceso de apropiación va desde las motivaciones al uso de internet (actitudes y razones para (no) usar internet), al acceso físico a internet (calidad, cantidad y ubicuidad), a las habilidades digitales (adecuadas uso de Internet) y al uso y los resultados de Internet (interactuar con Internet y disfrutar de los beneficios). Ese proceso no se distribuye por igual en la sociedad. Esta tesis doctoral, basada en la teoría de los recursos y la apropiación como marco teórico, explora la primera brecha digital en Tailandia para explicar la heterogeneidad del acceso a Internet en un país en desarrollo. Se tuvieron en cuenta el acceso de los usuarios tailandeses a Internet, los impulsores teóricos y los indicadores de los recursos posicionales y las categorías sociales. En general, se descubrió que las oportunidades de acceso a la computadora y a Internet son los principales impulsores del uso de Internet. Sin embargo, el efecto agregado cubre el hecho de que se está produciendo una transformación digital y social en Tailandia. Por un lado, existe un nuevo grupo móvil de usuarios de Internet para el que el factor más importante del uso de Internet son las oportunidades de acceso móvil seguidas de Internet y las oportunidades de acceso a computadoras. Por otro lado, los impulsores para un grupo tradicional de usuarios de Internet son las oportunidades de acceso a la computadora y a Internet. En cuanto a las propiedades sociales de los individuos en cada grupo, el grupo de usuarios móviles puede perfilarse como mujeres, de entre 15 y 35 años, bien educados, estudiantes, solteros y residentes en Bangkok o Tailandia central, mientras que el grupo de usuarios de Internet tradicional es compuesto por personas mayores, menos educadas, con discapacidades, desempleadas, generalmente casadas o viudas, y que viven en el norte de Tailandia. Los impulsores de la diversidad en el uso de Internet pueden ser generacionales, lo que sugiere la necesidad de cambiar el enfoque de la investigación de los hogares a los individuos, incluso en los países menos desarrollados. También se analizó el uso de internet por parte de los ciudadanos de la Unión Europea, al generalizar la validez del modelo secuencial propuesto por la teoría de la RA de un país a todo el bloque. Se encontró apoyo para las relaciones hipotéticas, pero otro hallazgo fue que los efectos de los impulsores en el uso de Internet varían según el nivel de desarrollo digital de los países. Si bien la educación en general es el principal determinante de la producción social de desigualdades digitales, el nivel de desarrollo digital de un país es crucial para los europeos con menos educación. Además, las personas jóvenes y bien educadas son las mejor posicionadas en la sociedad para aprovechar las tecnologías digitales en cada país. Nuestros hallazgos arrojan nuevos luz sobre el proceso social de apropiación de Internet, lo que sugiere que se desarrolla de manera diferente en los diferentes países europeos. Finalmente se estudió el papel de la confianza en la producción de una nueva brecha digital. El modelo secuencial de apropiación social de Internet se amplió para incluir la confianza como mediador en la cadena causal. El modelo extendido propone que las actitudes, el acceso físico, las habilidades digitales y ahora la confianza explican secuencialmente el proceso de apropiación que desemboca en una brecha digital en el uso de Internet. Los resultados indican que, si bien la confianza es otro determinante significativo de la brecha digital que media las habilidades digitales en el uso de Internet, las habilidades digitales continúan siendo el factor más crucial para generar la brecha digital. La confianza es un concepto construido socialmente cuyo significado depende de las habilidades digitales de los individuos. En resumen, esta investigación hace varios aportes a nuestro conocimiento de la producción social de la brecha digital en países desarrollados y en vías de desarrollo. Se descubrió la existencia de una transformación digital generacional en Tailandia que incide en la importancia de los impulsores teóricos del acceso a Internet, un hallazgo que genera dudas con respecto a la hipótesis de la clase baja móvil. Generalizando la vigencia del modelo de recursos y apropiación, se identificó el nivel de desarrollo digital de un país como recurso público para la reducción de las desigualdades digitales. y la educación y la edad como los principales indicadores sociales de las desigualdades digitales. Finalmente, el modelo secuencial teórico se amplió para incluir la confianza como otro nivel de la brecha digital, encontrando que aunque su rol es significativo, las habilidades digitales siguen siendo el impulsor más influyente.
Over the past decade, the internet has become a crucial aspect of networks based on the information and communication technologies, breaking down communication barriers between cultures by allowing access to almost any service worldwide. In addition to the spread of the internet worldwide, social media networking, online platforms, and other digital technologies have radically changed our daily lives. As a result, the internet is perhaps the most visible aspect of globalization and a driving force that integrates almost every industry. Even though digital technology is spreading rapidly, most of the population does not enjoy the benefits. Digital divisions have arisen in the use of the internet and social media, and in conducting activities online. Initially, the digital divide referred to the gap between groups of individuals with access to technologies and those with restricted access or none at all. However, evidence has shown that the concept is more complex than mere access to digital devices. In the last 15 years, researchers have tried to produce a comprehensive explanation of different digital divides. To better understand relations between different digital divide levels, van Dijk and associates developed their resources and appropriation theory (van Dijk, 2005, 2020). The RA theory proposes a sequential model to explain the relationship between different digital divide levels and how social inequalities are produced and reproduced. The sequential model shows that the process of appropriation goes from motivations to use of the internet (attitudes and reasons for (not) using the internet), to physical access to the internet (quality, quantity, and ubiquity), to digital skills (appropriate internet use), and to the internet use and outcomes (engaging with the internet and enjoying the benefits). That process is not equally distributed in society. This doctoral dissertation, grounded in the resources and appropriation theory as the theoretical framework, explores the first digital divide in Thailand to explain internet access heterogeneity in a developing country. Considered were Thai users' access to the internet, theoretical drivers, and indicators of positional resources and social categories. It was found, in general, that computer and internet access opportunities are the primary drivers of internet use. However, the aggregate effect covers the fact that there is a digital and social transformation underway in Thailand. On the one hand, there is a new mobile group of internet users for which the most crucial driver of internet use is mobile access opportunities followed by internet and computer access opportunities. On the other hand, drivers for a traditional group of internet users are computer and internet access opportunities. As for the social properties of individuals in each groups, the mobile user group can be profiled as female, aged 15-35 years, well educated, a student, single, and resident in Bangkok or Central Thailand, while the traditional internet user group is composed of older, less well-educated individuals, with disabilities, unemployed, most typically married or widowed, and living in Northern Thailand. The drivers behind internet use diversity may be generational, suggesting a need to switch the research focus from households to individuals, even in less developed countries. Also analysed was internet use by European Union citizens, by generalizing the validity of the sequential model proposed by the RA theory from one country to the entire bloc. Support was found for the hypothesized relationships, but another finding was that the drivers' effects on internet use vary depending on the digital development level of countries. While education overall is the primary determinant of the social production of digital inequalities, a country's digital development level is crucial for less well-educated Europeans. Furthermore, young and well-educated individuals are the best positioned in society to take advantage of digital technologies in each country. Our findings throw new light on the social process of internet appropriation, suggesting that it develops differently in different European countries. Finally studied was the role of trust in producing a new digital divide. The sequential model of social internet appropriation was extended to include trust as a mediator in the causal chain. The extended model proposes that attitudes, physical access, digital skills, and now trust sequentially explain the appropriation process that ends in a digital divide in internet use. Findings indicate that while trust is another significant determiner of the digital divide that mediates digital skills on internet use, digital skills continue to be the most crucial driver in generating the digital gap. Trust is a socially constructed concept whose meaning depends on the digital skills of individuals. To sum up, this research makes several contributions to our knowledge of the social production of the digital divide in developing and developed countries. Uncovered was the existence of a generational digital transformation in Thailand that impinges on the importance of theoretical drivers of access to the internet – a finding that raises doubts regarding the mobile underclass hypothesis. Generalizing the resources and appropriation model's validity, identified was the digital development level of a country as a public resource for reducing digital inequalities. and education and age as the primary social indicators of digital inequalities. Finally, the theoretical sequential model was extended to include trust as another level of the digital divide, finding that even though its role is significant, digital skills remain as the most influential driver.

The concept of the digital divide is a condition in the urban context where informationalization via computer technology exacerbates a duality that consists of those who have access to information technologies, and those who do not. The resultant outcome is a marginalized community left behind - a polarized urban system socially, spatially, and technologically. Low-income communities become devalued, disadvantaged, and dis-empowered. Left behind is a community that is not computer literate, lacks skills to attain entry-level jobs, and lacking in resources and infrastructure to maintain a competitive computer competency. Infrastructure that is needed goes beyond just computer software and hardware. More important is that of human infrastructure, which is needed as a constant, in order to instruct, mentor, and interact with the community on a daily basis. Moreover, physical space that can facilitate the potential of computer technologies cannot be overlooked. The areas of the city, which this thesis focuses on, are that of the extreme poor; the ghettos that are frequently neglected physically and financially. These are environments where the presence of fear, lack of trust, and danger are everyday psychological realities in which the young and the old must persevere. Space allotted for learning, safety, and interaction is a much-needed resource. Shrinking the digital divide requires and understanding of the social theory that exists at the core of implementing high technologies within low-income communities. From an architectural standpoint, placing mobile architecture within its historical context, and present applications, became a necessity. The thesis attempts to shorten the present digital divide, and posits that an architectural solution designed through flexibility and adaptability, in addition to the integration with specific technologies and program, can initiate a community computer - where members become active producers rather than consumers. The architecture will be a resolution beyond providing infrastructure and access, but instead instilling within the community ownership, trust, and a street presence. Furthermore, the thesis promotes social interaction and a community history - two components that are deciding factors, and at the heart of, defining a community.

This dissertation considers the internet from the perspective of rhetoric, which is the study of the theory and practice of written, spoken, and other modes of communication and debate. I report findings from three case studies about the internet in terms of digital and physical hybridity and rhetorics of purification. Digital and physical hybridity refers to the internet in terms of connections between physical objects (like people, buildings, and the environment) and digital objects (like data and computer code) that make a distinction between the two kinds of objects difficult. This means that the internet itself cannot be completely reduced to physical or digital components, even though it sometimes is in communication. Rhetoric where this distinction between digital and physical occurs can be understood as a rhetoric of purification because digital and physical objects are separated, or purified, from the deeper network of relationships between physical and digital objects which makes up the internet and the common reality both kinds of objects share. Rhetorics of purification can make the internet easier to understand and communicate about, but they can also overlook the deeper effects of the internet and its relationships with places, people, and communities. This dissertation takes up three different case studies related to rhetorics of purification. To demonstrate how this theory relates to the field, I review literature in rhetoric that considers digital texts, interfaces, and the internet in different ways in response to changes in technology. To study rhetoric surrounding the internet, I used a method of rhetorical analysis applied to different texts related to the internet. I combined this method with several methods of computer-assisted analysis including analysis of large bodies of text and interface analysis. I applied these methods within three different case studies. Each case study considers examples of rhetoric that represents the internet as distinct physical and digital components. In my first case study, I consider a social media service that used location information from users’ devices to situate anonymous online discourse within physical communities and analyze responses to the service. In my second case study, I consider legal decisions in the United States about internet surveillance and privacy rights. My analysis focuses on the rhetorical moves that are used in the legal decisions that relate the internet to the privacy of individuals and groups. In my final case study, I consider online-only writing courses and the impact of online platforms on teaching. In conclusion, I focus on the findings from these case studies and their relevance to ongoing conversations in the field concerning social media, internet privacy, and online teaching.

Full textThe purpose of this qualitative research study was to examine African American community college students’ availability to technological resources and how that availability affects their success. In this study, technological resources include access to the internet, software, hardware, technology training, technology support, and community resources. This study included six community college professors and six African American community college students enrolled in a Midwest community college. A major tenet of Critical Race Theory, storytelling, was used to give voice to students who lack sufficient access to technological resources referred to as the digitally denied. Data from this study can create an awareness of students that lack technological resources at community colleges, universities, and community libraries. This study could also be useful to community college leadership who set policies and procedures and determine curriculum requirements that call for technological resources. The findings suggested that access to technological resources is a key factor that impacted the success of African American students in the community college.

Full textMore and more community services are being digitized and people must adapt to society's digital development. This is a case study in purpose to investigate how Skånetrafiken works to counter digital exclusion, while at the same time trying to increase understanding of the concept digital exclusion. The theory used in this study was derived from literature on digital exclusion. It is based on Jan Van Dijk's research on digital exclusion, where the theory aims to explain the different levels of digital exclusion. The case is based on a qualitative interview study where five interviews have been conducted with employees from Skånetrafiken. Based on this, several factors have been identified in Skånetrafiken's working methods that promote digital inclusion. Furthermore, a theoretical contribution has been developed for how organizations should work to counter digital exclusion.

Full textFirst we will examine definitions of the eGovernment and Digital Divide and the way the debate about the concept is drawing attention to different Digital Divides. Then we will look at what eGovernment entails. What are the disadvantages and advantages of eGovernment? Moreover, does eGovernment actually mean new inequalities in terms of access to public services? A number of scenarios are considered, which include reflections upon how cross-national differences may arise. Next, we try to identify those who use eGovernment services and those who do not. Through secondary analysis of official statistics for, mainly, the UK and Portugal, we will try to trace evidence of new Digital Divides. We will turn also to the evolution of web 2.0, showing how governments are using this as new arena for the development of eGovernment. We suggest also new researches for monitoring the development of web 2.0 eGovernment in relation to Digital Divide concerns.
