Abstract

The “device divide” occurs when uses of the Internet vary substantially by device. While the mobile phone was welcomed as a way to reduce the general digital divide, much early research presumed that mobile Internet was essentially inferior to personal-computer-based Internet in terms of possible online activities and related benefits. Given ongoing developments in devices, online activities, and socio-demographic differences, we reassess the device divide. After reviewing the concept, and considering mobile phone capabilities that could influence activities, followed by summarizing changes in device usage and online activities in the United States, we analyze the device divide from 2011 to 2019 in Armenia. Over time, use of mobile Internet separately and combined with personal computer Internet grew, and differences in online activity use withered, raising issues of whither device divide research. Nonetheless, in all years, there are continuing demographic-based digital divides after controlling for device divides.

设备划分为哪个?改变个人电脑或移动设备与在线活动之间的关系
当互联网的使用因设备而异时,就会出现“设备鸿沟”。虽然移动电话作为一种减少一般数字鸿沟的方式受到欢迎,但许多早期研究认为,就可能的在线活动和相关好处而言,移动互联网本质上不如基于个人电脑的互联网。考虑到设备、在线活动和社会人口差异的持续发展,我们重新评估了设备鸿沟。在回顾了这一概念,并考虑了可能影响活动的手机功能,然后总结了美国设备使用和在线活动的变化之后,我们分析了2011年至2019年亚美尼亚的设备划分。随着时间的推移,移动互联网的单独使用和与个人电脑互联网的结合越来越多,在线活动使用的差异逐渐消失,这就提出了设备划分研究的问题。尽管如此,在控制了设备差异之后,所有年份都存在基于人口统计学的数字鸿沟。
