This talk, presented at the Association of Internet Researchers' Annual Conference, outlines the demographics of who is sending and receiving these images and under what circumstances.

Also, it's made it easier for me to find and interact with many types of people who are very different from me, giving me a wider range of experience. The classic example of how the net has positively affected my personal life is Meetup.com. I've gone to many real-world get-togethers coordinated through that service, and have made many friends that way. That, to me, blends the best of the net and the real world." --Amy Gahran, contributing writer at eMeter Corporation, senior editor at Oakland Local, co-creator and community manager at Reynolds Journalism Institute "A synthesis of early research on this question has shown that, in essence, personal predilections will be enhanced once one goes online<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=8fjbltcab&et=1103872251252&s=4763&e=001FQDdjznsiMwDInD7KBpX9HdwgW6-g1psMYUvrb48UpTOgHeyZvlGQySQQ_x59ecJPlLn99ZCcR2fZyZLhhyLosRwy4uGGxx3S5QE9LD49XMvMvqWKnEw0_ju9z3910ZiqT8YbZ_moVDPTxAivEGx9sU-Zrj21p4zXgYznPz-2v4CoFt_blyJZiSQpJIO9rqS4JgW_XD8MPWA0JJvHsE0YiqzutiOp6Og>. Those who are social will become more so, that is, and those who are loners will deepen their solitude. I expect research on this question to show something different over time. The early question had to do with the question of whether there were changes in the behavior of individuals when they went online. Now that digital natives begin and continue online, this is no longer a meaningful variable." --Sandra Braman, professor in the Department of Communication, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and expert on the macro-level effects of new information technologies Read more Future of the Internet reports »<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=8fjbltcab&et=1103872251252&s=4763&e=001FQDdjznsiMxlj1aqvVhhYGrtdkWETtAqkzeTgAbnJ1CAQQrkh6sy3VHfehdEPZzRBDi4CNuG8NJqVaQtemKk83q5bRE4RDxBZ0lbozVNZiMtE_19EmKR_2s0uYJ3ZR2aHemGLz_DPQvRx13odIujSrceRanhih-8> Share with a friend (forward)<http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=8fjbltcab&m=1102308222139&ea=richard-seyler.ling%40telenor.com&a=1103872251252> [http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/safe_unsubscribe_logo.gif]<http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?llr=8fjbltcab&v=001dCD0S6IuBsbiWB8s712v3fZfNVMG97fH9AAuAaLP3idNRUOPAT03hQ%3D%3D&p=un> This email was sent to richard-seyler.l...@telenor.com<mailto:richard-seyler.l...@telenor.com> by <mailto:i...@pewinternet.org> i...@pewinternet.org<mailto:i...@pewinternet.org>.
