Research aim and questions

The aim of our survey research is to find out does the Internet affect the ways how people are communicating and socialising with other people and if the patterns of using the Internet are related to people s sociability then what is the nature of this relationship.
The overall research question of our hypothetical research project is: Do people turn into antisocial creatures because of spending most of their time on-line or is the Internet just a new way to be social?
There are good arguments for the fact that it could have bad influence on people s sociability if they most of their time spend behind computers but equally good arguments are for the opposite, that the internet only will create new ways for being social. There can also be found a lot of examples proving the two sides. Both points of views are acceptable and suitable for hypothesis for our research. The aim will be to find out which of the two postures is more probable and what kind of variables might have some spurious effect on the relationships between Internet usage and sociability.
