When a topic is too broad, the focus needs to be narrowed. To do this, we will consider:

Who – is there a specific person/people/group on which to focus?
e.g. social or recreational computer users

Where – is there a geographical aspect to the topic?
e.g. cyberspace

When – is there a particular timeframe or period of interest?
e.g. during the last 5 years

What – is there a specific event or set of circumstances involved?
e.g. online social communication

How – is there a particular point of view to use?
e.g. dependence on technology
