This chapter examines how rural residents in three countries—Canada, Chile, and Vietnam—appropriately use Internet technologies, based on data from previous studies at different stages of digital inclusion. It introduces the concept of “Internet use genres,” a conceptual tool combining critical technology theory, sociological phenomenology, and genre theory, to analyze how these technologies are adapted to specific social contexts. By identifying and classifying these use genres, the chapter provides insights into the recurring local factors influencing Internet adoption and highlights the potential for incorporating end-users’ choices into technological development.
