Short description The Handbook of Internet Studies brings together scholars from a variety of fields to explore the profound shift that has occurred in how we communicate and experience our world as we have moved from the industrial era into the age of digital media. Chapters provide in-depth analysis of current research, debates and questions being raised in that particular sub-area. Concluding with a discussion of the future of the internet and the impact of possible future technologies within both the developed and developing worlds, this is thought-provoking and insightful reading for both students and researchers in the field.
