If you heed to the stereotype that Internet users are a bunch of pajama-wearing loners, buried in their basements typing away in front of a computer screen, not so fast. New research shows that Internet users are, in fact, more likely than their offline counterparts to be active in some type of community group or volunteering effort, and social media users even more so.
