>are evidence that in todays world, internet 
>research is a vibrant and mature field in which 
>practitioners have long since stopped 
>considering the internet as either an utopian or 
>dystopian "new" space, but instead approach it 
>as a medium that has become an integral part of 
>our everyday culture and a natural mode of communication.
