4.There’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describethe way a lot of North American interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.Professor Barry Wellman’s term is “networked individualism”. It’s not the easiest concept to grasp.In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked atthe same time? You need other people for network. Here’s what he means. Until the internet ande-mail came along, our social network involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, andcolleagues. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to personin real life. But the latest study confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through thecomputer has replaced a great deal of social activities and person-to-person interaction. Somepeople worry that the Internet is turning us into isolated people who shut out other people in favorof a false world on computer screens To the contrary, the study discovered that the Internetconnects us with more real people than expected- helpful people who can give advice on careers,medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americanstold the researchers that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal withmajor life decisions. So we network individuals are pretty tricky: we’re keeping more to ourselves,while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!The term “networked individualism” is used to refer to ________.
