Summary/Abstract: The objective of this paper was to test a hypothesis on the diversity in the use of computers for online communication, shopping activities, entertainment and information acquisition. The differences between people belonging to two age groups – those who started and ended their professional careers either in 2003 or 2011 – were analysed. The study included the additional socio-demographic characteristics: gender, level of education and place of residence. The data were retrieved from the “Social Diagnosis”, and logistic regression and correspondence analysis were used. The research findings confirm the differences in Internet use by the groups of younger and older people, taking into account other variables.
