  • Abstract
    Increasing the appropriateness of the web content reduces digital divide. This paper considers the impact of culture on content understanding. Our research contributes to the study of this complex and challenging issue by analyzing some of the needs, wants, preferences, and expectations of different cultures based on the cross-cultural theory developed by Hofstede.
