On a related note, I would be interested to see an equivalency of sorts in regards not to age specifically, but to psychological and sociological development of persons between their online and offline selves. Establish stages respective of both and compare them against different mediums of connectedness. This is more of a CMC related issue I suppose. -- Thomas Jones http://www.TheOtherTomJones.com http://twitter.com/OtherTomJones http://www.linkedin.com/in/TheOtherTomJones One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community. -- Albert Einstein, On Education -- Sent with Sparrow On Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 1:44 PM, Deborah Elizabeth Finn wrote:

Dear all,

I remember someone inquiring a some time ago about the notion of years in "internet time"? I also remember hearing that three months of internet time is one human year, but I need a citation for my article. Any ideas where could I look for?

Thanks in advance!

Best, Anna Haverinen
