Internet use harms social well being says study
Val Farmer summarizes a Carnegie Mellon study of 169 people in 73 households who received Internet access. The findings show increased loneliness and depression with higher use, reduced contact with close and distant friends, and greater daily stress, alongside potential educational and self esteem benefits. The report notes limitations and suggests moderation to balance online and real life interactions.
