Beskrivning

This book explores how Internet use empowers users and the range of economic and social implications of these impacts. This is the first systematic study of how the Internet and online social networks reconfigure the life choices and opportunity sets Chinese people of different age groups face, and ways in which internet users’ life online and offline are intertwined with each other. The new ways of obtaining and making use of information and of interacting with others made possible by new forms of technology and their applications have profound and lasting effects on not only individuals but also social groups, and the entire population. The book also discusses the complex and dynamic relationship between tools and the people who use them.
