“Social information process theory initially was developed to understand how online communication shapes the development of interpersonal and group relationships. Can people really form a meaningful connection when their only point of contact is through a computer? [..] People can indeed form relationships online that are just as satisfying- in fact, sometimes even more satisfying- than their offline interactions. [...] Relationships grow only to the extent that parties first gain information about each other and use that information to form interpersonal impressions of who they are. [Social Information Process Theory - Joseph Walther]” — Em Griffin
