Abstract

This study empirically analyzed the effect of media literacy on the formation of the smart divide, which is a multi-faceted digital divide that occurs in the context of the use of smart devices. As a result, most of the factors of media literacy affect the establishment of social relations and social network through the use of smart devices, which, in turn, leads to the expansion of the range of informational and social activities. In addition, media literacy has a significant effect on the competence to evaluate the value of information acquired through the use of smart devices. Based on these results, there can be social disparity between those who have secured media literacy and those who do not from the perspective of informational and social benefits through the use of smart devices, which can function as a mechanism to generate the smart divide.

이 연구는 스마트기기 이용이라는 맥락에서의 다변화하는 정보격차인 스마트 디바이드의 형성에 미디어 리터러시가 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 미디어 리터러시의 대부분의 요인들은 스마트기기를 이용해서 사회적 네트워크를 구축하고, 이를 기반으로 정보적, 사회적 활동의 범위를 확장하는데 영향을 미치고 있다. 또한 미디어 리터러시는 스마트기기를 통해 입수한 정보의 가치 평가능력에도 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 미디어 리터러시를 확보한 사람들과 그렇지 못한 사람들 사이에는 스마트기기의 활용을 통한 정보적, 사회적 이익이라는 측면에서 보다 심화된 사회적 격차가 발생할 수 있으며, 이는 스마트 디바이드를 유발하는 기제로 작용할 수 있다.
