Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:44:09 PDT
Book about how mobile communication devices are changing social relationships. “The message of this book is simple: the mobile phone strengthens social bonds among family and friends.

At a recent meeting representatives from the Kansas Hospital Association (KHA) presented information from a recent public opinion survey. The 2007 Kansas Resident Survey contacted 611 households, and at least 100 in each district of KHA. (You can link to an executive summary at the KHA site.

WeShow: Web Video Meets Social Networking

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 09:05:49 PDT
