Authors:Pizzul; Dario Pages: 1 - 19 Abstract: For the past twenty-five years, digital inequalities have been analyzed by several scholars. Many empirical studies have shaped a theoretical framework that identifies three main digital divides. However, most of the scientific contributions have been focusing on digital inequalities within countries, leaving inequalities among countries behind. This paper aims at analyzing what kind of digital inequalities emerge among European countries, focusing on the trends that characterized Europe in the last decade, to consider whether some of the main elements of the digital divide literature replicate at the continental level. The paper analyzes secondary data, mainly retrieved from Eurostat. It emerges that inequalities in digital skills and use of the Web persist in Europe, and some of the trends that scholars found among individuals are identifiable among countries as well. These findings contribute to the description of digital inequalities, a social phenomenon not so deeply studied at the continental level.

Authors:Yi; Julia J. Pages: 1 - 12 Abstract: In this study, the relationships between literacy, computer experience, and age among and between the general (i.e., "household") and prison samples were examined using the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (2012, 2014). Literacy scores and computer experiences were significantly lower (p < .001) for the prison sample than for the household sample. There were significant differences in the mean literacy scores between the household and prison samples for those with no computer experience, t(2048) = -3.58, p < .01 and for those with computer experience, t(7721) = 8.99, p < .01. Computer experience predicted literacy proficiency across both samples (R-squared = .10, SE = .01, p < .01). Lastly, there was an inverse relationship between age and computer experience, with a widening gap between the household and prison samples as age increased. The inequalities in the essential skills of print and computer literacy between the general and prison populations are concerning and indicate a need for literacy and computer education in prisons.

Authors:Esh; Manash, Ghosh, Saptarshi Pages: 1 - 15 Abstract: Using the SCOPUS database, this paper aims to quantify global research output on digital literacy (DL) from 2011 to 2020. In addition, there were 7388 documents and 42504 citations. The average number of citations received per publication was 5.63. The result of the study `depicts that the growth of publication on digital literacy has an incremental trend, and year-wise citation is also found to increase from 64 to 13163 during the study period. Furthermore, the research found that Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Doubling Time (DT) had a fluctuating pattern throughout the study. "Internet skills and the digital divide" were learned to be the leading article among the most important source titles used for the publication of DL studies, with 368 citations. However, the "Journal of Medical Internet Research" received the highest mean citation per document (24.26), and G. Merchant was identified as the most prolific author with a mean citation per document of 24.38.

Authors:Liu; Yi-sheng Pages: 1 - 12 Abstract: Through interviews, this research investigated the business logic of two legal technology (legal tech) startup companies and revealed the crucial value of human-centered thinking for technological innovation. In this research, the social values of technological innovation are described from the humanistic perspective. Based on the practical achievements of the companies, a new humanistic dimension was verified, which involved combining technological innovation and a human-centered path and adopting altruistic thinking, which was of great value in traditional thinking. Such practice contributed to the companies' achievements and carried profound significance to artificial intelligence (AI) development in the age of big data. Moreover, incorporating human-centered into businesses is crucial in controlling the use of AI to prevent the possible social destruction caused by AI applications. This research maintains that an approach combining data-driven and human-centered thinking is based on technological advances and social influences.
