Using quantitative data, as well as case studies of Web sites, they explore the impact of the Internet on society from three perspectives: access to Internet technology (the digital divide), involvement with groups and communities through the Internet (social capital), and use of the Internet for social interaction and expression (identity). To provide a more comprehensive account of Internet use, the authors draw comparisons across media and include Internet nonusers and former users in their research. The authors call their research the Syntopia Project to convey the Internet's role as one among a host of communication technologies as well as the synergy between people's online activities and their real-world lives. Their major finding is that Americans use the Internet as an extension and enhancement of their daily routines. Contrary to media sensationalism, the Internet is neither a utopia, liberating people to form a global egalitarian community, nor a dystopia-producing armies of disembodied, lonely individuals. Like any form of communication, it is as helpful or harmful as those who use it. 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aDigital divide$zUnited States 606 $aTelecommunication$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 610 $aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Technology & Policy 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDigital divide 615 0$aTelecommunication$xSocial aspects 676 $a303.48/33/0973 700 $aKatz$b James Everett$0119007 701 $aRice$b Ronald E$0572258 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818697203321 996 $aSocial consequences of internet use$91064469 997 $aUNINA
