Building a Community

Each time you turn on your computer to surf the Web; you’re connecting with a greater community. Though you might think you’re just looking for another new movie, you’re actually reaching out across wires to ‘talk’ with others. Each time you chat with someone, send an email, or simply buy something from a store online, you are building a network of connections and you are building a new future. (And you thought you were just wasting time at work.) Connecting to others is a big deal, one that people are realizing is far more important than they realized. Since communication and networking are second nature to most, we just don’t think about a life without them.
