- Cyber Anthropology: relationship between humans and digital-
era technology1
- New 'virtual' communities are no longer defined by geographic or
even ethnic/religious/linguistic boundaries.
o “…Communities are being constructed in cyberspace on the
basis of common affiliative interests, transcending
boundaries of class, nation, race, gender, and language.” 2

20. Cyber Sociology and Social Engineering
• Analysis of online virtual communities and virtual worlds that results in
organizational change catalyzed through the Internet
- Violence?
- Politics?
• Easier to influence decisions and exploit trust than to hack
- Insider Threat
- Social Media & Virtual Communities
- CyberCrime
