Topic: Technology in relationship to personal communication
Question: Does technology have a negative affect on our relationships with other people?
Rationale: In this day and age it seems like people feel like they can’t survive without the use of the internet or their cell phones. The main reason is because we feel out of touch with the world when we can’t call someone or email them. The problem with this is that our perception may be wrong, in actuality the growing dependence on cell phones and emails may be causing us to lose touch with reality, the personal relationships with other people growing less important. I hope to find out how technology is affecting our relationships and whether it is positive or negative.

Since I've also read your blog on the frustrations of your research experience, I'll try to give you some ideas for focusing your topic on something more researchable: for example, on Academic Search Complete, you could use broad search terms like 'communication' 'technology' and 'relationships.' Then use the subject headings on the left side to get past all of the overly technological stuff and into more information about relationships. You might also focus on one type of communication tool (email, IM, cell phone, etc.) and research its impact on personal relationships. If you are still feeling stuck, I can meet with you after class Friday to help you get going with your research.
