The Internet in Everyday Life

Barry Wellman and Caroline Haythornthwaite, eds.
Oxford: Blackwell Publishing. November 2002. 588 pages.
ISBN: 0-631-23508-6

From the back cover:
"The Internet in Everyday Life brings together pioneering studies that systematically investigate how being online fits into everyday lives. Until now, the Internet has been treated and discussed as detached from daily life, occupying some separate sphere of social endeavor. This collection of original articles from leading scholars in North America, Asia, and Europe moves discussion of the Internet closer to home, showing how the Internet does not exist "out there" but is instead an integral part of daily work and home life.
"

Part 1: Moving the Internet out of Cyberspace
Part 2: The Place of the Internet in Everyday Life
Part 3: Finding Time for the Internet
Part 4: The Internet in the Community
Part 5: The Internet at School, Work, and Home
