I'm writing a paper on the the relationship between the use of different information and communication technologies and the diversity of peoples social networks. I have data from 300+ interviews with the residents of four Boston neighborhoods. I would be interested in any references that you might have on other studies that have looked at the impact of Internet, phone, or television use on the diversity of social networks. Thanks, -Keith -- Keith N.
