Q1. What have the authors contributed in "New media adoption and usage among flemish youngsters" ?

This article presents a study on the adoption and usage of new media among a representative sample of Flemish youngsters. Based on the adoption of new media technology and devices, the studied sample could be divided into four distinct profiles by means of a latent class analysis. By this, this article challenges the stereotypical view of young people as ‘ homogenous mass ’ of early adopters of new media devices and technologies by showing that there are different types of media users and usage among youngsters. However, they are more likely to use their less advanced devices to their full potential. 

The most popular activity on the Internet is searching for information, followed by using webmail and watching other people’s profiles on social networking sites. 

One out of four sends between one and three text messages a day, twelve percent less than one a day and less than one per cent never sends text messages. 

Almost one out of five uses the mobile phone at least once a week to surf the Internet and fourteen percent to email, which indicates that mobile Internet appeals to a quite large niche of young people. 

The practice of (illegal) copying is apparently quite common among young people, as more than one out of three copies music and more than one out of five copies movies on a weekly basis. 

not all fifty per cent of this second category uses this option as less than a third of the youngsters from this profile has a subscription for mobile Internet and less than one out of four indicates that they surf the Internet on their mobile phone on a weekly basis. 

The assumption that youngsters cannot be considered a homogenous mass became apparent through the finding that the studied sample could be divided into four distinct profiles based on their adoption of new media technology and devices by means of latent class analysis. 

With three out of four, the first segment also has the highest probability for having both a desktop and a laptop at their disposal. 

Two major paradigms can be distinguished by which innovations tend to be studied: the diffusion of innovations (adoption diffusion) and the domestication of innovations (use diffusion).
