This new report from Pew Internet asks the question: "Are the Internet and mobile phones making us more socially isolated?"
This Pew Internet Personal Networks and Community survey finds that Americans are not as isolated as has been previously reported. People’s use of the mobile phone and the internet is associated with larger and more diverse discussion networks. And, when we examine people’s full personal network – their strong and weak ties – internet use in general and use of social networking services such as Facebook in particular are associated with more diverse social networks.
Visit Pew Internet at http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2009/18--Social-Isolation-and-New-Tec... to download the full report.
