Technology is rapidly expanding to every corner of the world and with this technology comes new innovations, advancements in the way we live and more importantly in the way we communicate.
The internet has only been since 1993, but its effects on today society are colossal and to say that internet does not play role our lives in North America and even the world could be nothing further from the truth. The internet brings many useful applications, for example we know longer need to look at or purchase road maps, instead we can just "google map" are destination and receive step by step accurate instructions from point A to point B (free of charge of course). The internet helps people stay in touch, hotmail, g-mail, facebook, instant messaging are the most popular of their kind and millions take in the resources offered by these applications. I do agree the internet is a highly advances and useful device but is it a threat to a traditional community (a community that operates on a physically social networking of communication and organization). One could argue that facebook is a "road block" to community development limiting the amount of social networking within a community, but one could also argue that facebook itself is a community.
just wondering what others think on this issue?
