Abstract
This chapter analyses the increasing variety of internet access and use experienced by children in Europe. Locations, platforms, experience and the embeddedness of the internet in everyday life are accounted for in order to provide a full picture of the first and the most immediate sociocultural layer in which
children’s agency is exercised. Insofar as individuals’ use of technologies
is socially shaped within family and peer relations, this
chapter investigates the relationship between place of access, online
experience and frequency of use of the internet, within the family’s
wider technological culture. It examines cross-national variations in
patterns of usage and provides a classification of countries.
