ICT and Culture: putting mobile telephony to good use
The research project on Level of Participation in Italian Cultural Life edited by Tullio De Mauro and Adolfo Morrone, indicates that individuals in participation levels 4 or 5 have a very good command of ITC technology.
In fact, nearly all the individuals in these two levels use PCs and Internet and respectively 71.7% and 82.8% use mobile telephony not only to make phone calls, but also to exploit its many other functions. Inversely, the individuals who populate the first two levels exhibit a very low fruition of PCs and mobile phones. More than 64% of the individuals in the first two levels only uses mobile phones to make phone calls, while this percentage plummets to 17% among the individuals in level five.
