“The Internet is adding on to community rather than destroying it. There were a huge number of people running around saying the sky was falling a few years ago. What we found is the sky isn't falling, that life is going on and quite happily.”
“This creates a new basis for community. Rather than relying on a single community for social support, individuals often must actively seek out a variety of appropriate people and resources for different situations.”
“Our impression is that most online relationships have come from people who know each other in person. You can really maintain and nurture those relationships online.”
