Scholars of the information
society are divided over whether
social inequality decreases or
increases in an information-based
society. However, they generally
agree with the idea that inequality in
the information society is 36
different from that of an industrial
society. As information progresses in
society, the cause and structural
nature of social inequality changes as
well.
It seems that the information
society 37 the quantity of
information available to the
members of a society by
revolutionizing the ways of using and
exchanging information. But such a
view is a 38 analysis based on the
quantity of information supplied by
various forms of the mass media. A
different 39 is possible when the

actual amount of information 40 by
the user is taken into account. In fact,
the more information 41 throughout
the entire society, the wider the gap
becomes between “information
haves” and “information have-nots”,
leading to digital divide.
According to recent studies,
digital divide has been caused by
three major 42: class, sex, and
generation. In terms of class, digital
divide exists among different types of
workers and between the upper and
middle classes and the lower class.
With 43 to sex, digital divide exists
between men and women. The
greatest gap, however, is between the
Net-generation, 44 with personal
computers and the Internet, and the
older generation, 45 to an industrial
society.
