Isn't true that we keep Participating in these online communities whose purpose is to bring our grievances and ideas to the fore so that we have solutions to our real community problems . But what's happening is that we run out of time to get involved in our real community problem . We want to squeeze everthing in our taxing schedules which in turn, takes its toll on our activities where it matters most ,like real community gatherings . Should we slow down our online activites to give impetus in solving to our real time grievances . Please state your response and solutions . with regards www.chocolatesavy.com

It is extremely difficult to give a check on this speed-race which has been accelerating ever since its inception into the real world. Also speeding up, or slowing down is a factor dependent on individuals a lot. I believe in spontaneous growth and so far and so long the growth or reciprocations come by the natural way, we must not have anything to say about it. Anyway I try my level best to adjust to the tempo and at times get fatigued for reasons only a daily online traveler would apprehend.

In my town there aren't really a lot of things going on, we are a very small community of about 2,000 people. I don't think that being online is neglecting the real community. I think that a select few people might be, but I don't think that it is an entire community who tries to solve all their problems online instead of doing it in real life.
