Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(交流,溝通) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals(個人,個體) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!
【小題1】The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people ________.
A.stick to their own ways no matter what other people say |
B.have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest |
C.do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people |
D.a(chǎn)re able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people |
A.Networks | B.Friends | C.Phones | D.Parents. |
A.people have been separated from each other by using computers |
B.the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely |
C.the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication |
D.a(chǎn) lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing |
A.We’re Alone on the Internet. |
B.We’re Communicating on the Internet. |
C.We’re Alone Together on the Internet. |
D.We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet |

Thanks to the Web, We’re Alone Together and Loving it
There's a professor, Barry Wellman, at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.
Barry Wellman's term is "networked individualism." It's not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here's what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that's a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on flickering computer screens.
To the contrary, the Pew study discovered the Internet has put us in touch with more real people than we'd have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We're turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.
So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We're keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!
【小題1】The Pew study was conducted in _____.
A.The United States | B.Canada |
C.The U.S. and Canada | D.Europe |
A.People are talking on the phone more than ever. |
B.Interaction through the computer has replaced a lot of person to person interaction. |
C.Americans are turning into hermits. |
D.Sixty million Americans have bought computers. |
A.The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected. |
B.People use the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and other questions. |
C.For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important decisions. |
D.“Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers. |
A.Connect with. | B.Play a trick. | C.Make a decision. | D.Stay alone. |
