gender and the internet  

Definition(s)

  • From its inception in the latter half of the 20th century, the Internet has been a social tool that has reflected general attitudes and participation about gender among other social factors, viewed through the distinctive prism that the Internet imposes on communication. In addition, the study of gender differences in Internet use is sometimes used as a measure of gender differences and similarities in communication, of gender and sex roles, and of the reaction to and use of technology.
