解説
問 2
Incorrectア
A social networking service (SNS) is a membership-based internet service where users interact with one another and post and share information. It is a mechanism that supports connections between people, not a term for the gap between people who can and cannot use information devices, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectイ
Digital signage refers to an electronic display system that installs screens outdoors, at storefronts, and the like to show and distribute video and information digitally. It is a display technology for advertising and guidance, not a term for the information gap, so it is incorrect.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is “ウ Digital divide.” The digital divide (also called the information gap) is a term for the gap that arises between people who can make full use of information devices and ICT such as computers and the internet and people who cannot. It covers not only differences in the quality and quantity of the information one can obtain, but also the resulting economic and social gaps in income, employment opportunities, and so on. It matches exactly the description in the question — “the gap in the quality and quantity of obtainable information, income, and so on that arises between people who can make full use of information devices and people who cannot” — so ウ is the correct answer.
Incorrectエ
A digital native is a term for the generation that grew up in an environment where the internet and computers were close at hand from birth. It describes the characteristics of a certain generation, not the gap itself between people who can and cannot use these devices, so it is incorrect.
ここがポイント
- Digital divide (information gap) = the gap in information quality and quantity, income, opportunities, and so on that arises between people who can make full use of information devices and ICT and those who cannot.
- Grasp how it differs in definition from the confusable “digital ~” terms (signage = electronic billboard; native = the generation that grew up in a digital environment).
