“What feels old and “traditional” about the internet to our respondents is that it’s a voluntary social sphere where people can give and can take. What’s new about the internet to these enthusiastic users is the rate at which it is influenced by people who use it for new kinds of social purposes. People aren’t waiting to figure out its proper use, or for clear “rules of the road” to be articulated, they’re simply taking it for a spin.”
