The Digital Divide: Current and Future Research Directions (2005, unknown): “In an extensive review of the digital divide landscape, DiMaggio et al. (2004) note that the digital divide can be defined in several ways depending upon how access and differences in usage are defined and measured.”
Rethinking Internet skills: The contribution of gender, age, education, Internet experience, and hours online to medium- and content-related Internet skills (2011, background): “In general, the higher educated part of the population is characterized by high levels of computer ownership, the availability of Internet access at home, high levels of broadband connectivity, and by spending a more than average time online (Buente and Robbin, 2008; DiMaggio et al., 2004).”
A nuanced understanding of Internet use and non-use among the elderly (2015, background): “During the last decade, research has indicated that significant inequalities remain in terms of the nature of Internet use (e.g. Chen and Wellman, 2005; Dimaggio et al., 2004; Van Deursen and Van Dijk, 2014).”
The digital divide shifts to differences in usage (2014, unknown): “…terms of physical access have diminished, significant differences may remain in terms of differential skills and the nature of Internet use (e.g. Brandtzæg, 2010; Chen and Wellman, 2005; DiMaggio et al., 2004; Hargittai and Hinnant, 2008; Selwyn, 2004; Van Dijk, 2005; Zillien and Hargittai, 2009).”
Internet Use and Social Capital: The Strength of Virtual Ties (2010, unknown): “Several studies have examined the influence of social capital and social support on Internet usage (Agarwal, Animesh and Prasad 2005; Goldfarb 2006; DiMaggio et al. 2004).”
Determinants of 21st-Century Skills and 21st-Century Digital Skills for Workers: A Systematic Literature Review (2020, background): “Most initial investigations of the digital divide tended to look at basic demographic and socioeconomic predictors of mere access such as gender, age, education, income, and employment status (DiMaggio et al., 2004).”
Understanding digital inequality: comparing continued use behavioral models of the socio-economically advantaged and disadvantaged (2008, background): “Digital inequality, in this research, refers to inequality in the access and use of information and communication technologies (DiMaggio et al. 2004).”
