Resumo: | The socio-economic condition of households in Colombia is a factor that affects internet access. During the Covid-19 health contingency in Colombia there has been evidence of a technological gap in favor of higher social classes in relation to low and middle-income segments. The use of the Internet became an essential for everyone to work and and interact during the periods of confinement derived from the pandemic. Consequently, the devices used to connect to the internet has made it possible to observe the way in which each population segment connects to the network according to their financial position. The purpose of this study was to identify the devices used by young people living in Colombia to access the internet during the Covid-19 health contingency, considering their socio-economic condition. Possible diferences in frequency and time of social media, radio and TV use were also examined (through the internet). Online questionnaires (household surveys) were applied to young people – first to 1.419 participants, then to 810 individuals. It was found that the socio-economic factor does affect the consumption of the internet and social networks among the Colombian youth population, and that there are significant variations regarding the use of the various social networks, considering social stratification. Television consumption exceeds listening to the radio. According to the results, there is evidence that each population segment has its own preferences regarding the use of devices and social networks. |

Durante la contingencia sanitaria Covid-19, en Colombia se ha evidenciado la existencia de una brecha tecnológica en favor del estrato económico alto en relación a los segmentos económicos medio y bajo. El uso de internet se convirtió en un mecanismo esencial para trabajar e interactuar durante los períodos de confinamiento derivados de la pandemia. En consecuencia, el uso de los dispositivos utilizados para acceder a internet ha permitido observar la forma en que cada segmento poblacional se conecta a la red, según su posición económica. El estudio acá documentado tuvo por propósito identificar los dispositivos que utilizan jóvenes residentes en Colombia para acceder a internet durante la contingencia sanitaria de la Covid-19, considerando su condición socio-económica. También se quiso establecer si existen diferencias en las frecuencias y tiempo de uso de las redes sociales y de los medios radio y televisión (vía internet). Se aplicaron cuestionarios on-line (en línea) en jóvenes, primero en 1419 participantes, luego en 810 individuos. Se encontró que el factor socio-económico sí incide en el consumo de internet y de redes sociales en la población juvenil colombiana, y que existen variaciones significativas entre el consumo de las diversas redes sociales, considerando la estratificación social. El consumo de televisión supera a la escucha de la radio. Según los resultados, se evidencia que cada segmento poblacional tiene sus preferencias en lo que respecta a uso de dispositivos y de redes sociales.A condição socioeconômica das famílias na Colômbia é um fator que condiciona a possibilidade de acesso à Internet. Durante a contingência de saúde em decorrência da Covid-19, na Colômbia houve evidência de um hiato tecnológico associado ao estrato econômico superior em relação aos segmentos econômicos médio e baixo. O uso da internet passou a ser um mecanismo essencial para trabalhar e interagir durante os períodos de confinamento decorrentes da pandemia. Consequentemente, os dispositivos utilizados para acessar a internet têm permitido observar a forma como cada segmento da população tem acesso à rede de acordo com sua posição econômica. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar os dispositivos utilizados pelos jovens residentes na Colômbia para acessar a internet durante a contingência de saúde devido à Covid-19, considerando sua condição socioeconômica. Também foram examinadas possíveis diferenças nas frequências e no tempo de uso das redes sociais e dos meios de rádio e televisão (via internet). Para tal, foram aplicados questionários online numa primeira fase a 1.419 jovens, depois, numa segunda fase, a 810 jovens. Constatou-se que o estrato socioeconômico afeta o consumo da internet e das redes sociais entre a população jovem colombiana, e que existem variações significativas entre o consumo das diversas redes sociais, considerando a estratificação social. O consumo de televisão supera o de rádio. De acordo com os resultados, foi evidenciado que cada segmento populacional possui suas preferências quanto ao uso de dispositivos e redes sociais.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2021-11-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/3482810.35699/1983-3652.2022.34828Texto Livre; Vol. 15 (2022): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia ; e34828Texto Livre; Vol. 15 (2022): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia ; e34828Texto Livre; Vol. 15 (2022): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia ; e34828Texto Livre; v. 15 (2022): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia ; e348281983-3652reponame:Texto livreinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGspahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/34828/28858Copyright (c) 2021 Rodríguez-Martínez e Arango Lozanohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodríguez-Martínez, GuillermoArango Lozano, Carlos Andrés2022-10-31T13:32:07Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/34828Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivrePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/oairevistatextolivre@letras.ufmg.br1983-36521983-3652opendoar:2022-10-31T13:32:07Texto livre - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
