In a new scientific study, researchers argue that the influence computer-mediated social networking has on our daily lives should be analyzed in more detail. They say that this could help us gain a better understanding of how the virtual world is changing the way we live our lives.
Some of the things that could be heavily influenced by social interactions include variations in the level of trust people have in various institutions or public figures, the rise and fall of new leaders, as well as user migration patterns within online communities.
Details of the new paper were presented at a national workshop hosted recently by the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB), PsychCentral reports.
