Clark Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, where he directs NetLab. Klappentext Daily life is connected life, its rhythms driven by endless email pings and responses, the chimes and beeps of continually arriving text messages, tweets and retweets, Facebook updates, pictures and videos to post and discuss. Our perpetual connectedness gives us endless opportunities to be part of the give-and-take of networking. Lee Rainie and Barry Wellman show how the large, loosely knit social circles of networked individuals expand opportunities for learning, problem solving, decision making, and personal interaction. Rainie and Wellman outline the ¿triple revolution¿ that has brought on this transformation: the rise of social networking, the capacity of the Internet to empower individuals, and the always-on connectivity of mobile devices. Rainie and Wellman guide us through the challenges and opportunities of living in the evolving world of networked individuals. Zusammenfassung How social networks! the personalized Internet! and always-on mobile connectivity are transforming-and expanding-social life.
