“…Unfortunately, there is very little research that looks into what explains both quantity and quality of support sources used. Helsper and Godoy-Etcheverry (2011) have shown that access to support in use of the Internet by non-users (i.e., proxy-use) can be explained by the socio-demographic characteristics that are related to digital divides in general (see also Dutton, Blank, & Groselj, 2013;Neves & Fonseca, 2015). However, neither did this research look at how this relates to the usefulness of this support nor did it relate this to levels of Internet skills.…”

“…A general finding in Internet use research is that younger people exhibit the highest frequency and diversity of Internet use, resulting from their generation's earlier exposure, peer use, and confidence in relation to new technologies (Dutton et al, 2013;Zillien & Hargittai, 2009). Some have argued that the relationship between age and lower levels of digital engagement might be explained by higher levels of social isolation (Eynon & Helsper, 2011), though there is little research in this area.…”

This paper asks what predicts having access to and using social support networks that might help an individual in using the Internet. Following the course taken by the digital divide or digital inclusion research, this paper uses socio-cultural, socio-economic, social, and digital indicators to predict access to and the type of potential and actual social support networks that might help an individual in using the Internet. In addition, the paper examines the quality of the support received which is neglected in most investigations that mainly focus on quantitative indicators of support. The study draws on a representative survey conducted in the Netherlands; 1149 responses were obtained. The results show that while there are no real inequalities in access to and use of support, the quality of the support that people access is unequally distributed replicating existing patterns of disadvantage. Thus, access to support is another level at which the digital divide manifests and strengthens itself. Those who experience most problems online also seem to have the most difficulty obtaining high-quality support even when it is available, creating an even larger 'gap' between those who do and do not need support.

“…What was designed to serve commercial distribution models has (in both cases) intensified sharing potential. As the expansion of internet access in the UK (Dutton et al 2009) has outpaced the expansion of digital television subscriptions (Giulianotti and Robertson 2009) the number of football fans who can afford subscription television but who cannot access to the internet will continue to dwindle.…”

Social Trends: e-Society ST41This is the first Social Trends chapter to focus on e-Society. For most people, new technology plays a crucial part in their daily lives, from use of a computer and having Internet access at home or work, to texting or making calls on a mobile phone. Even if people do not make direct use of this technology, they are surrounded by networks through which information constantly flows. It allows anyone to create new information, provides convenient access to information and enables people to interact with information produced by others, especially on the Internet. Digital television and radio services allow a greater number of channels to be broadcast and allow viewers to interact with what they see and hear. People can take new technology with them virtually anywhere they go; computers can be portable and phones can be mobile. Key points:Household access to the Internet by about 40 percentage points over the period. However, the increase was only 26 percentage points for one person households over state pension age.
