Abstract | The Internet remains unfamiliar territory can be largely explained by the dryness of the technical vocabulary, by the setbacks which people all encounter as they navigate the French version of a local information network - Minitel on-line information services - and sometimes salutary defiance towards all-out digitalisation. In this article, therefore, while offering researchers and students of the contemporary Chinese world practical guidance on using the Internet, they will attempt to demystify what should really be seen simply as a communications tool - no more, no less. |
