Kraut et al. (2002) revisit the "Internet paradox" - the idea that the internet leads to social isolation and loneliness, despite its potential to connect people. The authors argue that the internet is not inherently isolating, but rather that certain uses of the internet can lead to social isolation. The study provides a nuanced analysis of the relationship between internet use and social isolation, and suggests that certain online activities, such as online gaming and instant messaging, can actually increase social capital and enhance social connections.
