| Abstract | Technology has changed family life and nowadays most of us live in "virtual homes" from which we can connect with anyone, anywhere. This has the potential to improve the quality of social capital between geographically separated family members. Social capital refers to the relationships individuals form with each other and the resources obtained from these relationships (Coleman, 1988; Halpern, 2005). It is a concept that differentiates between bridging (weak ties that provide information) and bonding (strong bonds that provide emotional support) social capital (Putnam, 2000). This chapter reveals that social networking websites such as Facebook help maintain connections between family at home and those that have emigrated. As such, a new level of global family social capital (Rice, 2014) has emerged in the social networking era. However, for rural families it is often the case that mothers are at the center of global family social capital and fathers remain on the margins. This chapter outlines the under-representation of rural fathers in terms of social networking use and discusses what impact this has on them as individuals and more widely on established social capital theory.
