This work examines the effect of family background on the amount of time students devote to the use of new information and communications technology (ICT) and on its type of use. Through an analysis of the frequency and type of use of ICT with data obtained directly from students, our study offers new evidence on the impact of parental education on the time and type of use of ICT for a sample of Spanish students. We show that the educational level of parents reduces the amount of time students devote to the use of Internet and, in turn, increases their propensity to use it for educational purposes. Another empirical finding of our research is that the degree of educational homogamy in the couple exerts an additional effect on the dependent variable.
