Virtual Communities
People are using the internet in many different ways, including connecting to friends and family through virtual communities like Facebook and Twitter. With the help of these sites people have been brought, in some ways, closer together by sharing information and opinions with others. People are starting to stay in their homes and not going out to meet there friends, so they use these Social Networking sites to communicate with their friends and family.
This statement is true and I also think that people use virtual communities, especially social networking sites like twitter, so that they can connect with new people and can discuss topics that they have a mutual interest in.
ReplyDeleteVirtual Communities can also include online gaming like the playstation, x-box live and other computer games. People are now are able to communicate through these and create groups/clans or teams.
ReplyDeleteVirtual communities exist everywhere on the internet. But it isn't just the internet that has them, they exist on game consoles too. But the problem is, you may not be talking to who you think you're talking to, it could be some 40 year old man, claiming to be a 17 year old lad.
ReplyDeleteIn summary I have learnt that their are many different ways in which you could communicate to someone, through a virtual community. I have also realised that gaming forums are incredible big and are very useful for discussing information and opinions to other gamers.
