Scientific and technological development will not result in eccentric isolation - American Studies
According to a survey conducted by the United States, with the prevailing popular opinion, the Internet and mobile phones do not make people isolated from each other, it will expand social circle. The survey draws its inspiration from the United States to a study by sociologists in 2006, when the researchers believed that since 1985, technological developments have led to the Americans increasingly withdrawn, socially narrow the scope, contact circle of a gradual homogenization. However, according to "Pew Internet and American Life Project," carried out "social isolation and new technologies" New research findings, people use mobile phones and the Internet can actually expand and diversify the social circle. International Research Corporation of Princeton (PSRAI) this year in July and August of 2,512 adults conducted a telephone survey and found that since 1985, the basic degree of social isolation has not changed. Survey, 6% of the respondents did not discuss the events can be friends, this figure and in 1985 almost. But the new survey found that in the past 25 years, people's "discussion circle" is indeed reduced by about one third of the "discussion circle" the diversity of the members have also been reduced, because fewer people now accept non-family members. But the use of mobile phones, and is active in a variety of network activity to share photos of people, tend to have broader, more diverse core of the discussion circle.
