What is a Virtual Community? Virtual community is a social network of individuals who interact through specific media, potentially overcome geographical boundaries and political will to pursue common interests or goals. I want to discuss the advantage and disadvantage of Virtual Community. Advantage - Internet communities offer the advantage of instant information exchange, which means we cannot do in a real communities. This allows more people to participate in activities at their home, such as: shopping, paying bills, looking for topical information.
User’s online communities can also
access to thousands of thematic discussion groups, where they can form
professional relationships and access to information in various categories such
as politics, support technical, social activities and entertainment.
Disadvantage - Although instantaneous communication means fast access, but this
also means that the information posted is not reviewed for accuracy before.
Furthermore, Identification of individuals who are kept anonymous so that
ordinary people use virtual communities to live a fantasy life under the guise of
a human being.
Overall, the world is rethinking human interaction through
the use of social networking. So Virtual Community has a lot of fun but also
more unstable and complex. In my opinion, Technology is threatening to dominate
the life of humanity, and as we increasingly lose "humanity". By
causing the illusion that social networks are helping people communicate and
connect with each other more easily, in fact we are becoming isolated
real-world interactions between people, in the form a virtual-reality space
that is essentially nothing more than a simulation of the real world
deformities.
