That's the beauty of the Internet is that we're no longer tied to our communities by physical connections.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Internet really lets people connect that wouldn't have in the past, and lets conversations happen and connections happen.
For most people, using the Internet broadens their sense of who 'we' is and actually ends up leaving us in a place of greater compassion and understanding. It leaves us more connected to a larger group of people and more at one with a lot more people in our community.
We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.
We thought that the Internet was going to connect us all together. As a young geek in rural Maine, I got excited about the Internet because it seemed that I could be connected to the world. What it's looking like increasingly is that the Web is connecting us back to ourselves.
These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming, allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users.
By 2007, we were finally living in a culture where people get what networks are and what technology can do to connect people.
We are still in the very beginnings of the Internet.
In the space of one lifetime, the Internet has opened up opportunities that were previously inconceivable.
People now, especially with the Internet, are connected. They have an expectation of behaviour, of accountability, avoiding conflict and fair and just competition.
The Internet has brought communities across the globe closer together through instant communication.
