Quiver & Quill

I’ve started a project called Life Online. Every week, I’m conducting interviews with different people about how their online lives have an impact on their offline relationships. Whether it’s Generation Y’s addiction to Myspace, or Generation X’s embrace of the Facebook, the 12-24 year old demographic is defined by their online activities. However, what about the seniors, working moms, new immigrants, and the every day people we encounter: do they view their online activities as a choir, or an integral part of their lives? Life Online poses these questions and examines how our relationships have changed and perceptions evolved because of our online interactions.

True to citizen journalist form, I’m using my mobile phone to take pictures of interviewees, or pasting their profile picture from an online community (with their permission). During the first several months of the Life Online project, my scope will be broad to explore many topics. In time, I will select a specific theme and include links to the interview Podcasts. In the meantime, I’ll post excerpts from the interviews on www.quiverandquill.com.
