Hey all,
I am doing some preliminary research on the impact of the Internet on
identity formation. I am particularly interested in how heavy users i.e.
people who spend a  lot of time online for work purposes (like many of us on
this listserv!) think the internet has impacted their social networks and
personal identity. I will be sending out an informal open ended survey to
get some preliminary observations. If anyone would be interested in
contributing please let me know and I will forward the survey to you in the
next week or so. 

Thanks,
Alecea Standlee

I'm teaching a "Society and Information Technology
in Second Life" course again this fall in the amphitheater
on Berkman island on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 9 ET, 1600-1800 SLT :
http://socinfotech.pbwiki.edu. This course draws on long time Berkeley
Professor Manuel Castells' examination of the Network Society, and offers
ways to analyze significant aspects of the information technology
revolution.

In this evening's class, we'll finish examining what gave rise to the
information technology revolution - microelectronics, computers, and
telecommunications - and then begin to look at the history of the Internet.

Watch the videos linked to the wiki above, and let me know if you would like
me to send you some of the readings for this week and next, mentioned below.

Second Life shapes the possibility for rich discussion - and at-large
participation is welcome - so come and join this conversation, tonight and
subsequently.

See you in-world,
Scott
