A nuanced understanding of Internet use and non-use among the elderly (2015, background): “This corresponds to the usage gap hypothesis (Van Dijk, 2005) which claims that Internet use reflects differential uses and activities in all spheres of daily life.”
Internet skills and the digital divide (2011, background): “Van Dijk (2005) changed Steyaert’s definition to operational skills (the skills to operate computer and network hardware and software), formal information skills (the ability to understand and to handle the formal characteristics of a computer and a network such as file structures and hyperlinks),…”
