Depends, of course, on what you mean by "culture". If you mean "culture" largely within the boundaries of a given cultural domain - including "everyday life" primarily in the Western world - then two things come to mind: Examining the Internet in Everyday Life - by Wellman, et al - and handily located online: <http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/euricom/Examinig-Euric om.htm> I'd also recommend Maria Bakardjieva's "The Internet in Everyday Life: Exploring the Tenets and Contributions of Diverse Approaches," in M. Consalvo and C. Ess (eds.), _The Blackwell Handbook of Internet Studies_, 59-82. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011). This chapter, as the subtitle suggests, attends to diverse methodological ways of attempting to understand Internet impacts and implications precisely as infusing our everyday lives in multiple ways - but it thereby also sheds very useful light on the historical development I think you're asking about.

Hi there,
for an undergrate seminar I¹m looking for an essay about ³Internet & Culture², something that describes the impact of the Internet for our everyday¹s life. Ideally, it would approach the topic in a sociological way but would also have a historical point of view.
Suggestions anyone?
Thank¹s a lot,
André
