Untangling the Web: the next six topics

Over the next two months, I'll be untangling the effects of the World Wide Web from six more human social phenomena, documenting findings from the academic research and interviews with experts on the Untangling the Web blog and in the fortnightly columns in The Observer.

I've already looked at a whole host of topics including social change, love, hate, sex, health, family, religion, disability and Britishness - among many others.

Looking forward, I'll be asking how digital media has - or hasn't - transformed the experiences and functions of serendipity and discovery, education, life stages (from birth to old age), home, intellectual property and death.

Send your thoughts on these topics to aleks.krotoski.freelance@guardian.co.uk or to @aleksk, and I'll try to include your responses on the blog and in the column.

First up: serendipity.
