hello folks, as long as i've been posting up a storm (for me anyhow), i thought i might ask if anyone's been thinking about or knows work on rethinking U.S. non-urban or rural spaces in relation to CMC? how has the notion of rurality been affected by access and lack of access to the Net? are people in rural sociology or other disciplines thinking about rurality differently because of these technologies? i'm guessing there's some pile of literature out there i just haven't run across yet (but, it's right under my nose, yes?) any thoughts/cites would be much appreciated. best, marygray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mary L.
