We analysed the influence of sociodemographic and techno-social aspects in conditioning the distinctive digital practices developed by Internet users. By using a representative sample of UK users and different methods of analysis, such as factor analysis, K-means cluster analysis and logit analysis, this study shows how techno-social variables have a stronger effect than socio-economic variables in explaining the advanced use of the Internet.engAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationaljournal articlehttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02673231211046785open accessDigital divideDigital inequalitiesDigital practicesInternet relatedInternet usesSociología6307.07 Tecnología y Cambio Social
