[edit] Little Boxes and Networked Place
My question
- Who lives "near" their best (non-partner) friend?
Your Questions
- Putnam vs. Wellman
- Are we really person-to-person
- To what extent do technologies orchestrate our social experiences?
- What is up with Beverly Wellman?
- Do we have proximity in SNS?
- Does SNS promote networked individualism?
- Have we ever really been in our communities?
- What are the new geographies of communities?
Quick Notes
- Is this a new "network capital"
- A moderate take - Lin, Social Capital, Chapter 13
[edit] Group Project
- Are community ties - community networks - viable online?
- Is the offline-online dichotomy overdone?
- Are good online relationships equivalent to good offline relationships?
- Will CMC become more transparent as people become more experienced with it?
- Can online relationships be good enough? Can people emotionally and cognitively respond to online relationships in the same way as they respond to F2F?
- Are relationships based on online communication authentic?
- Will the internet promote two-person interactions at the expense of groups or social network contexts?
- As community becomes person-to-person, will people continue to feel responsible for their strong relationships but not for strangers and acquaintances?
- To maintain anonymity and freedom, will people not want to be always-connected?
- Does the shift to person-to-person networked connectivity mean that people can live anywhere - we no longer need physical "place"
Assignment:
- Respond to question (agree/disagree why)
- Discuss the role of SNS in the question
- Explain how SNS has changed the discussion (if it has)
- Looking 5-10 years down the road, explore how things might change
