Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact 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 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 email，our social networks involved live interactions with relatives，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.

In the past，many people were worried that the Internet isolated 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.Over 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make
major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer，“networked individuals〞are able to be alone and together with other people—at the same time！
