A Temporary Community

“A TEMPORARY COMMUNITY”

This insight is a reaction not in a negative sense derive from “Virtual Community, Is Real Community”.

As we can see, we are living now in a virtual world. Almost everything is instant. Everything is already in front of us. Tangible or not tangible, but it is real. Almost everything is on the tip of our fingers. The approximate 180,497 islands in the world are now one in a virtual world. All are connected. The history of continental drift presented how the lands being separated and now the world of webs presents how the land reunited.

So now, let us examine this virtual world what could be the best things it offers. We knew how this social media work in our community. We knew its limits. We even tried its advantages and disadvantages, but these are not evil by the way. We understand that it is God’s plan under the command of human, because God instructed us to procreate things and even lives. Much more, He gave us reason to produce ideas and thoughts for us to create something that could help us to connect all people here on earth.

The virtual world is one of the greatest inventions that makes us reunited. It is being said that “It tends to connect rather than isolate users”. Yes it is. We create new communities on the net, phones, television, radio and others and we call it real, but these communities are “temporary communities”. Why is that so? Because these communities are very much dependent with the technologies. Communities like these are dead if there’s no social media. But again, we believe that these are real albeit members are beyond horizon. Temporary communities are inevitably be subsided in the long run. It will not stay longer but slowly diminishes. But virtual world is always advancing.

I happened to tune in, like program in television, radio and others but in the long run the program diminished. Like “Wanted pangga, Eat Bulaga, etc. but what happen now? These are what we call virtual community because many are tuning in. Facebook is another community, twitter and yahoo mail and many more. But there will be a time that these communities will change because the world is advancing and so do this virtual world. For instance, face book is a later development. That is why I call it “Temporary Communities” because it keeps on changing and even the members of these communities.
