Abstract EN
The burgeoning interest in social capital within the technology community represents a welcome move towards a concern for the social elements of technological adaptation and capacity.
Since technology plays an ever larger role in our daily life, it is necessary to articulate social capital and its relationship to technological literacy.
A nationwide data was collected by area sampling, and position generator was used to measure social capital.
Regression model was constructed for technological literacy.
Age, gender, education, income, web access, and social capital were included as independent variables.
The results show that age, gender, education, web access, and social capital were good predictors of technological literacy.
It is concluded that social capital is helpful in coping with rapid technological change.
Theoretical and empirical implications and future research are discussed.
