technology and relationships
definition: This entry explores the ways in which information and communication technologies—such as e-mail, instant messaging, text messaging, and other Internet-based exchanges of information—hinder or facilitate relationships. Research examining the effect of information and communication technology on relationships began as the development and diffusion of computers and Internet technology was adopted by household members.
