The Internet is a useful means for cultivating social networks, and also putting them into action at times of needs – this is the main conclusion of a new sociological study carried out by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Not a startling conclusion in itself, but its findings help balance the notions of social isolation that are often used to characterise computer users, people staring alone at computer screens rather than engaging with ‘real life’ in the world outside.
