Reading Part 5:

What does the reviewer suggest about Aleks Krotoski in this paragraph?

Although she’s a glamorous media ‘star’ (having fronted a TV series about the internet), people

underestimate Krotoski at their peril. She’s a rare combination of academic, geek, reporter and essayist, which her

chapter on the concept of friendship online exemplifies: she’s read what the key social theorists say on the subject,

but she’s also alert to what she experiences as ‘emotional anaemia’ – ‘the sense that…..you might not feel the online

love from the people you should, because your nearest and dearest may be drowned out in the ocean of sociability.’

Which, in a way, brings us back to Zuckerman’s thoughts about the difference between what networked technology

could do and what it actually does.

• Her insight into the nature of online friendship is perceptive.

• She has been influenced by Ethan Zuckerman.

• People are often misled by her academic credentials.

• She takes on too many different roles.
