Education, Digital Natives, and Inequality

Abstract

The CSO 2019 figures, (pre-Covid 19), show that of those persons who used the internet every day, 58% used the internet I several times a day i , while 16% used the internet I nearly all the time i and 3% stated that they used the internet I all the time i . The socio-cultural preconceptions at play in Ireland and beyond suggest that students are natives with access to the internet and technologies. Students were the most frequent users of the internet, 54% used the internet I several times a day i while a further 31% of I students i used the internet I nearly all the time i and 5% used the internet I all the time i (CSO, 2019). These students have grown up in the era of the internet, however research has shown that there are notable variations among digital natives' usage of the Internet ([18]).
