If you feel isolated from the rest of the world, don't blame the Internet. Researchers at Pew Internet and American Life Project released the results of its recent study that was aimed at determining whether the use of the Internet and cell phones could lead to a reduction in the size and diversity of core discussion networks and social networks more broadly. What they found was, no, it is not.
The genesis of the study was research conducted three years ago which found that Americans' core discussion networks -- that group of people with whom an individual discusses important matters, had shrunk and become less diverse during the past 20 years. They suggested -- but did not directly explore -- the idea that the Internet and social networking was to blame for that isolation.
