The advent of the Internet “removes many constraints of space and time [so that] some of the current social patterns that are evident in suburbia or in workplace offices will not be as much in evidence in 2020 as technology reconfigures people’s sense of presence” (Anderson and Rainie, 2010, p. 15).
