I'm entirely grateful for all of the benefits that internet connectivity brings. I just wonder about whether there is or will be a corresponding change in local connectedness. I wonder if there will be less put into local communities as a result of resources and time being expended remotely. Or maybe there will be more put into communities as a result of remote activity. I'm also reminded of Kitty Genovese's murder in NYC, when there were dozens of people watching, but nobody did anything. Could there be a bystander effect in the massiveness of the online community? I don't know, but I'm curious. Hey, thanks Jason & Jessica. I’m entirely grateful for all of the benefits that internet connectivity brings.

Awesome blog--just found it;-) I have to say that I agree with Jase--being away almost all of the time, blogging, facebook, twitter, and texting gives me some sort of connection to home. Honestly, I prefer these to a phone call most of the time, anyway, which would be my only other realistic option... Hey Mike! Awesome blog–just found it;-)

When I get back together with people, I often have "kept up" with them through little statuses and comments and back and forth conversations. While I think nothing should ever completely replace face-to-face, I love the opportunity to retain some level of closeness that all of these sites and technology provide!
