Research: Internet Strengthens Offline Interactions

A study from the Pew Internet & American Life project reports that online social networks are playing a larger role in people's lives. Despite fears that the Internet weakens social ties, the report suggests the opposite is true. The study concluded that people are turning to others in online social networks mainly for:

* Assistance on important life-changing decisions.

* Expert advice from others to help them sort through their options at stressful moments in their lives.

* Information that allows them to compare and cross-check their options.
