Conclusions
NZers rate the Internet
As an information source, the Internet is rated important by many more users than are traditional media.
As information source, the Internet rates for more users than do family and friends.
Most New Zealanders who use the Internet would find it a problem if they lost access.
Digital Divide
The Internet in New Zealand is age- and income-graded. The younger or wealthier people are, the more likely they are to use the Internet, the better their ability, the more important they rate it, the more they create content and socialize online.
As an ethnic group, Asians have the greatest engagement with the Internet.
Gender is mostly not a significant indicator of Internet usage and attitudes.
The shape of the Divide
Age Area IncomeGender
Content creation
New Zealand users, especially the young, are very active in content creation on the Internet. A quarter post messages and a third post images.
13% maintain their own website.
10% keep a blog, many more younger people.
Socialising effects
Socialising is a major Internet use, especially among the young.
Most users say the Internet has increased their contact with other people in New Zealand and overseas, with family and friends.
But some say they now spend less time face-to-face with the family they live with.
Socialising online
Three quarters of users check their email every day.
Every week a quarter go to social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook.
A quarter of users have made friends online, and half of these have gone on to meet in person.
