摘要：The use of the Internet has a significant and almost unforeseen impact on individuals and society as a whole. Harmonized surveys on the use of the Internet have been conducted in all states of the European Union as well as in other states of Europe. They represent an authoritative source of information for the creation of policies related to information society. The paper outlines the diffusion and changes related to the uses of the Internet currently taking place in Croatia as well as in two other states, members of the European Union, France and the United Kingdom. Since there is a pronounced disparity among the states of the European Union, if we take into consideration Internet use and diffusion in the households, special interest of this paper is which position Croatia would hold among them. The paper includes data on the possibility and habits of accessing the Internet, purposes of the Internet and user characteristics such as age, gender and education in the three states.
