The phenomenon is analyzed through Van Dijk's model of access to technologies, enhanced by the views of the sociological theory of capital and psychological theories of adaptation and self-efficacy. The theoretical part is followed by a qualitative research pinpointing the main motives and barriers. Also, some key aspects of overcoming this new form of social exclusion are identified. |
