Connecting : how we form social bonds and communities in the Internet age
Sociologist Chayko (College of St. Elizabeth) presents a conceptual and empirical investigation of people connecting across time and space--via various kinds of media, including the internet as well as television, movies, and other means of communication. She draws on structured interviews conducted with a diverse group of 50 people to support her study of the implications of people "knowing" people they've never met.
