it only works if you give and take

The internet is becoming a monster, if you didn’t know that already, almost uncontrollable. There are those that believe it needs to be regulated and those that believe it does not but either way it developed a life of its own many years ago and now is practically unstoppable. We all harness its power every day. It provides endless hours of entertainment, knowledge, shopping, music etc. It also has its darker sides and like so many other areas of human history these areas are best avoided but they will always seem to be around. It is the growing area of communities that dominate the headlines at the moment, forums, chats, Facebook, twitter, gmail the list is and will be endless. Type in a question into google and someone somewhere is going to have the answer to your question the more abstract it is the harder you have to disseminate the information but be assured if you want to know the best way to iron paper towels somebody is going to have the answer. This community does not exist just because it is needed; it exists because there are people who join in communities. They aren’t always computer geeks but more likely passionate people who believe passionately about being part of a community. Sports fans are passionate, they have their team colors on their desk tops, access the team website, join in forums about the latest star attractions or hated rivalries, Car people are the same, cooking is huge, science, religion and politics dominate, music, film and the list goes on. All this only works because they contribute and they actively participate, so who are the “they”? “You are the “they” let me say that again you are the “they”. Sit for one moment and ask yourself this question, what am I an expert in? It’s something; seriously it’s something and become a “they”. Somebody somewhere has an urgent question that you have the answer too.
