A new study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that the Internet and mobile phones do not lead to social isolation, as some previous research suggested. In fact, there’s plenty of evidence that people who spend a lot of time online have fuller social lives.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you.
