  Bet365 lotto review The official website of Ohio State University recently said,Research by Jeffrey Cohen, a professor at the Department of Anthropology of the School,Having a computer and the Internet access does not mean that the digital gap will automatically meet。

2020,Ohio in the United States implemented a new crown epidemic premium home order,Cohen and other scholars and non -profit organizations in the Bhutanese Community of Central Ohio,A visit to 493 Bhutan refugees living in the capital of Columbus and surrounding areas living in Ohio; most of them bet365 Play online games are face -to -face interviews,Minorities are online surveys。Although many interviewees live in poverty (more than 50%of people earn more than $ 35,000 an annual income),But 95.4%of them expressed their own Internet access。

More than 90%of the respondents said,Being able to use digital technology is "important", "very important" or "extreme important",But most people have a very limited understanding of how to use the Internet。The main and even the only purpose of many respondents using the Internet is communication and social。82.4%of the respondents to keep in touch with friends and family through the Internet,67.7%of the respondents visited the social media website,Watch TV online、Listening to broadcast、The proportion of reading newspapers bet365 live casino games is 30.9%,Browse online news and access to non -social media websites are 19.8%and 21.0%。

Researchers discovered,Elderly、People with a lower education level、People with poor English skills use the probability of using the Internet lower than other interviewees,They feel uncomfortable on the Internet。But this is not a unique problem with Bhutan refugees,Many Americans only regard the Internet as the carrier of children playing online games or online lessons,instead of obtaining medical services、Find a place where resources that help your daily life。Language is another problem。The most commonly used language of Bhutan refugees is Nepal,For some important network resources,Ohio Government offers English -Nepalese translation bet365 live casino games tools。But many refugees say,This tool translation quality is very poor,It is almost impossible to understand。Even in the respondents who can speak English,People who think of excellent English level are less than 25%。"Interviewees can access the Internet,Information is also open to them,But they cannot use information。This is not a technical problem,but the digital literacy problem in the digital gap。"Cohen talks。

One of the focus of this research is online acquisition of medical care services and epidemic related information。During the epidemic,Remote medical treatment is one of the main ways for Americans to obtain medical services; however,,Nearly 73%of the respondents have never used such services。and,For many respondents,The Bet365 app download epidemic is not the only health problem they face。Bhutan's community has a higher risk of cardiac metabolic diseases,For example,Cardiovascular disease、Diabetes,About 72%of the respondents suffer from one or more of the common disease;,The risk of their illness may rise。

Cohen thinks,The important revelation of the research is,Digital gaps should not only be regarded as a technical problem that can be solved by only the Internet access。Society、Cultural and environmental factors may hinder certain groups as much as possible to benefit from Internet access。Scientific researchers must interact with the local community,Solution to ensure the digital gap problem meets the needs of the community。
