> Information- and Communication Technologies are changing the  
> society and the everyday life in Europe. ICT policy and industry  
> often assume that this development will provide important  
> opportunities to increase quality of life and improve social  
> relationships. The EU project SOCQUIT (Social Capital, Quality of  
> Life and IST) analyses the effects of ICT on social capital and  
> quality of life.
