Communities in Cyberspace (Cont.)

Wellman, B. Gulia, M.
Can people find community online in the internet? Can relationships online be supportive and intimate?

Fear of people gets so engulfed in a simulacrum virtual reality, that will leads to lost contact in real life.  Latest communication and technology allows maintenance of relationship over long distances.
Facebook existed as a social network of kon, friends, and workmates who do not necessarily live in the same neighbourhoods.

People are not going back for the village behavior but the whole world is becoming a sole village with everyone together inside. This conceptual revolution moved  from defining co,,unity in terms of space – neighbourhood – to defining in term of social networks.
