You might want to look at the current issue of American Behaviorial
Scientist, 2001, 43(3), which has a variety of articles on the Internet.
Ours (also available at www.scils.rutgers.edu/~rrice/syntopia.htm) shows
that in overall, though not overwhelmingly, use of the Internet is
positively associated with other generators of social capital, such as
involvement in politics, community organizations, friendship networks, use
of media, and contact with family.
