摘要：This article is focused on the reasons of Internet’s non-use and the definitions of the term non-use. Definitions of the term non-use are varying in different studies and most of the definitions do handle users as one group and non-users as another. Non-use should be understood not only as a total non-use of the Internet, but also as a non-use of different services that are provided via Internet. In past studies the main barriers for non-use are found: from socio-demographical factors, the lack of safety, expenses, difficulty for using the net, lack of access and lack of interest and motivation to use Internet. In the future study should concentrate to the reasons of non-use more deeply and study e.g. the reason for dropping out from the Internet.
