Social networks are used more often in poor neighborhoods than in affluent neighborhoods, while the latter tend to consume more information from traditional online media. This is one of the conclusions of a scientific study undertaken by researchers at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the IMDEA Networks Institute, and Orange Innovation which analyzes the relationship between internet usage and variables such as education, income, or inequality in a specific area.
