I need a case study published in a journal to support the idea that some technology harms socialization?

Question

Anyone have any ideas please?

I need a study of some sort that says the use of facebook comments, text messages, e-mail and other asynchronous communication styles are harmful to socialization processes.

Thanks!

Try doing a search for anything to do with young people spending a great deal of time surfing the net, playng x-box, watching a lot of t.v. etc. It's what the web is all about. Go forth and learn.

You may want to check with the American Sociological Association at http://www.asanet.org/.

Also you may want to try sending a few emails to the sociology professors of any university, because if anyone would know where these studies would be published it would be them. This won't cost you a dime, most are actually more than willing to help if you ask.
