After twenty-five years of online socializing, however, I understand (and caution others against) the danger of confining myself exclusively to communities I can click on and off. Im healthier, and so is my society, because Im embedded in family, neighborhood, hometown, campus, and social cyberspace. The people Ive met online as well as mostly communicate with through virtual means have come to my rescue in times of peril, bought me lunch in Amsterdam and Istanbul, showed me caring, and shared the fun that any kind of community worthy of the name strives for - but I learned long ago that I also need to maintain my face-to-face connections. ~Net Smart (p. 77) #netsmart #howardrheingold #socialmedia
