The Internet in Everyday Life

The Internet in Everyday Life is the first book to systematically investigate how being online fits into people's everyday lives.

• Opens up a new line of inquiry into the social effects of the Internet.
  
• Focuses on how the Internet fits into everyday lives, rather than considering it as an alternate world.
  
• Chapters are contributed by leading researchers in the area.
  
• Studies are based on empirical data.
  
• Talks about the reality of being online now, not hopes or fears about the future effects of the Internet.
