American Reality - Community Building Ideas

American Reality

The new American Reality will be mapped out in the web in real time.

Communities are build on foundations of shared values, common culture, on common identities.

The web has enabled communities to transcend space and time, to be formed instantly through electric current.

The way in which the new cultural landscape is shaped will depend on how humans cope with this new reality.

Communities are engines for creative expression. Out of communities come new ideas, new words, new values, and new institutions. If communities are able to be born out of the internet, those ideas, words, values and institutions will inevitably replace others born out of old communities.

In internet will enable the destruction of many of our current institutions. Who is on the chopping block? The press, for one. Various governments are not far behind. Particularly those who are the most oppressive, but not oppressive enough to suppress their citizens' access to the internet.

Most things that depend on information exchange can be enhanced or completely overtaken by use of the internet. As this is realized, massive change is upon us.
