Based on an anonymous survey of 432 students from eight public schools, this study shows that inner-city teens are more likely to use MySpace and suburban teens are more likely to use IM; moreover, suburban teens are more likely than inner-city teens to be the early adopters of both MySpace and IM. This urban-suburban differential reveals another dimension of the so-called second digital divide.
基于对来自八所公立学校的432名学生的匿名调查，本研究表明，市中心区的青少年更倾向于使用聚友网（MySpace），而郊区的青少年更倾向于使用即时通讯（IM）；此外，与市中心区的青少年相比，郊区的青少年更有可能是聚友网和即时通讯的早期采用者。这种城市与郊区的差异揭示了所谓第二代数字鸿沟的另一个层面。
