Thomas has some good thoughts on community and specifically online community.
Thomas says that we build community on the web and with new tools like the iPhone, or Myspace or Facebook and it may not be as bad as some might think.
Community is about connection… no longer solely physical connection… Its rubbish to say the world is going to end (OK… I paraphrase) because of tools such as the iPhone that can help us connect further with our community.
Maybe the very people the iPhone user is chattering idly with is his / her community? I have 54 friends on Facebook… (again I am not boasting here but stating a fact) I consider them just as important a part of my social fabric than my next door neighbour… who, btw, is new to the street and I haven’t had a chance to speak to him yet (Olly has though).
