Video Interview: Howard Rheingold who coined the term Virtual communities in 1987 

Key points:

  • Virtual communities and relationships were real even in 1987
  • Virtual relationships result in relationships in the physical world.
  • It is always important to think critically about technology.
  • Communities in the physical world are important but should not be idealised.
  • The strength of relationships is key to determining if something is a community or not.
  • In the age of globalisation, global communication is important.
  • Virtual global communities require us to think about the role of nation states.
