I think the big catalyst for this change was digital cameras hitting critical mass and the plethora of photos now available to be shared. Images, not text, is what attracts people's attention and forms the basis of community. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words! Nisan Hi Nic,

My comment is mainly regarding your idea of how the internet is changing communities. It's funny as I have recently moved into a new community, which is built in an area of regeneration. The people within this new comunity do not communicate with each other, at all, to the point where heads go down as soon as eye contact is about to be made when leaving the car park. One thing has finally started to bring people together....the internet. A very simple online forum was set-up by one resident to talk about issues of property maintenence mainly. This has spawned into a place where people are organising social meet-ups, buying/selling unwanted goods and general community banter amongst residents, most of whom have still not met each other face-face. Within 3 weeks the site has over 60 members, which is a high-proportion of total residents. It's not quite a social network in the myspace sense, but not far from it. A great post, really.

What's surprising to me is that these trends, which have really exploded in terms of the growth of communities to help organize one's social lives, or purchasing decisions, have not yet seeped into the educational arena.
