Sažetak
This article investigates the level of education of Internet users in European developed countries and European post-communist countries. Using data from Eurostat the gap between European developed countries and European post-communist countries in level of education of Internet users is measured. The main assumptions are that older and less educated inhabitants in European post-communist countries use Internet to the lesser extent compared to the European developed countries, but the difference dimishes with age group 16-24 and higer level of education. Considerably lower usage of Internet and a low level of education could be significant barriers towards further economic development of European post-communist countries.
