Computer Technology, Large-Scale Social Integration, and the Local Community.

Calhoun, Craig

Urban Affairs Quarterly, v22 n2 p329-49 Dec 1986

Emphasis is on the contrast between direct and indirect social relationships. The framework is illustrated by consideration of potential social impacts of widespread "telecommuting." (PS)
