| Popis | Drawing on the EU Kids Online data, this article aims to emphasize how the differences in Internet use of adolescents in Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria) persist in spite of their incorporation of the internet in their everyday life. The findings show that once children use the internet on a daily basis, demographic variables do not account for difference in use, but other factors fuel ‘silent inequalities’, which in turn reinforce already existing inequalities, digital and social. Adolescents who are online for more years, use the internet for a larger amount of time, have internet access from their bedroom, or are more skilled are more likely to engage in creative activities and therefore to undertake a wider range of online opportunities. Parental education (which also predicts parental digital literacy) influences the likelihood of children engaging in creative internet activities both in direct and indirect ways. |
