Beyond simple analysis of total time of wireless Internet use, this study analyzes how location and timing of wireless Internet use is associated with face-to-face interactions.

Specifically, wireless Internet use at school and hotspots is positively related to time spent with friends and acquaintances. Meanwhile, wireless use during both weekdays and weekends is related to increased time with friends and acquaintances. |
