Question ID: 515587
I am looking for 3-5 (four is ideal) very thorough, reliable sources
for information in each of the following topics. I am hesitant to give
a length guideline for "thoroughness," because some sources can be
highly informative in a small amount of space. Detailed studies are
great, as are sources that cite other sources. I do not need any
studies or articles authored by Mike Rebbechi or Robert Kraut.

The _negative_ effects of computers and/or in the internet in regards to:

1) Health (computer use reducing exercize and/or increasing health
problems such as obesity [not effects of computers on various
treatment methods])

2) Any major religions

3) Social interaction

4) Etiquette

5) Gap between rich and poor (be it in education, wealth, etc)
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

You might want to pick up two entertaining and thoughtful books by
Clifford Stoll, "Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information
Highway" and "High-Tech Heretic: Reflections of a Computer
Contrarian."

I've written an article that address the social interaction issue.
This is not an in-depth study, but a professional opinion. The
article's available on my website here:
