Is the Internet a Community? Does It Meet the Standards

question 169

Essay

Is the Internet a community? Does it meet the standards of what we traditionally have thought of as community and does it serve the function of bringing people together and raising their mechanical solidarity? Or, is the Internet an alienating form of communication that only keeps people apart and does not allow traditional senses of community to develop? Please argue your point with relevant examples.
