Communicating in the 20th century is no problem. There are various ways to get in touch with someone. In fact, it seems as if a new way of communicating comes up every year, and each new way makes the last one seem obsolete.

It is impossible to go through an experience such as golfing with another or seeing a movie with another in a virtual community. We remember when that guy fell over in the middle of the aisle at the movies or when our friend laughed so hard that their drink came out their nose.

This is because you don't have much in common and share no past experiences. Once you do things with that person you have common experiences to talk about. This rarely happens on the internet.

On the other hand, virtual communities are easily accessible. If you are having a problem and can''t find the answer, you can easily find it online. If you want to discuss the football game with or talk about the latest New York Times bestseller, you can find someone online. If you need ...
