<P> A digital citizen refers to a person utilizing information technology (IT) in order to engage in society, politics and government . K. Mossberger, et al. Define digital citizens as "those who use the Internet regularly and effectively". </P> <P> People characterizing themselves as digital citizens often use IT extensively, creating blogs, using social networks, and participating in online journalism . Although digital citizenship potentially begins when any child, teen, and / or adult signs up for an email address, posts pictures online, uses e-commerce to buy merchandise online, and / or participates in any electronic function that is B2C or B2B, the process of becoming a digital citizen goes beyond simple Internet activity . In the framework of T.H. Marshall's perspective on citizenship's three traditions (liberalism, republicanism, and ascriptive hierarchy), digital citizenry can occur alongside the promotion of equal economic opportunity, as well as increased political participation and civic duty . Digital technology can lower the barriers to entry for participation as a citizen within society . </P>
