Informative post #2: The Internet, A Place Where You Socialize

Even though in my last post, I said that internet harms people, it can also be used for good. One thing that I have learned is that the internet binds people, it gathers people from various cultures and make it so that they can interact and gain more knowledge of the vast world.

An article showed me about this fact, and it's title is
Online communities bind people with common interests
The summary for this article is, in point format:
  • Naver, Korea's biggest portal service, is a gate for people with similar interests to gather.
  • Web portals even hold charities
  • Through chatting, people will eventually want to meet in real life
  • As a result, a new group can be formed, such as the Naver community Music Band Association for Office Workers.
    • In 2010, there are over 2,650 members who are ecstatic to learn about their own instrument.
  • Another example is the Automobile club Chatadang, formed by only 4 people that knew each other through chatting via Twitter
