The Italian Statistical Yearbook 2008 has been published , an 800-page tome created by Istat to offer a pointillist fresco of the Italian people. Our Institute, as behind in terms of digital culture as the people it analyses, offers us this mass of data in PDF and XLS, when it would have been more effective to expose it using data visualization tools , which would certainly have facilitated its understanding and dissemination. So, I tried to do it myself, with respect to the data that are closest to my heart, those of PC and Internet use (it would be very nice to make it a collaborative project involving students).
In 2008, 44.9% of the population said they used Brazil Phone Number computers and 40.2% said they connected to the Internet . The maximum use, equal to 80%, occurs among young people (from 15 to 19 years), and then decreases to 9.1% in the 65-74 age group and to 1.9% in the 75 and over age group (the latter represent 1/5 of the population). Furthermore, if we consider the over 34 age group we also notice a strong gender gap. As can be seen from the maps, at a territorial level, there remains a strong gap in the use of PCs (North and Center 49.5% and 46.9% respectively, South 37.7%) and the Internet (North and Center 45 respectively, 0% and 42.9%, Southern Italy 32.6%).
It is a gap, in my opinion, first of all cultural which arises from the generalized perception of a negative balance between the cost of learning technologies and their practical benefits. If we add to this the abdication of parents from their guiding role and the inertia of the ruling class, all we have to do is wait patiently for the charge of the digital natives.The result is, in my opinion, very fascinating because it allows us to visualize, and therefore to become aware, of another territory, whose borders are those traced by the external gaze, to measure the distance between the "participating.
