Term Project

My term project is about New Media and Social Needs. As Maslov' s pyramid shows, social needs are the need for love, safety, and belonging. In sum, social needs are expressed through human interaction.

Here are some of the sources used:
-Sara Silver. "Internet Romance: How Match.com Found Love Among Boomers; Dating Site Prospers Targeting Older Singles; The Body Art Question." Wall Street Journal January 27, 2007
- Sonja Utz. "Media Use in Long Distance Friendships" Information, Communication& Society Vol.10 N0 5, October 2007

Networks (The Facebook case) ".Pre-proceedings version. ACM Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (WPES), 2005
