The role of social networks and communities in the world today
Technology has reshaped many
spheres of human endeavors and interactions and it will continue to do so as
long as it remains the mainstay of those spheres. Human being is known as a
social being, that is, one that has the innate ability to relate and interact
with others in am a mutual way. It, therefore, suffices that the interaction of
human beings is based on their nature as a social being. The rate at which this
interaction goes has increased by the advent of technology, which has made the
world a global village. An individual living in faraway Australia might be
relating easily with someone in a country in Africa by the provisions of
technology. That is why the roleplaying phenomenon as a means toward
social interaction has been favored over the few years of its existence.
In the course of building
nations and systems, it is definitely human being that forms the structure
thereof and nothing worthwhile can be built except there is interaction. This
has been further strengthened by the advent of social media. The social media
has been a tool in bringing about human cohesion and the effect of roleplayingcannot
be overemphasized. It is in light of this that several communities have been
created online where people have become faithful followers and members of such
social communities. One of such communities is the Facebook that has been
recorded to have over a billion members presently.
The essence of the various
online communities is to do more than human relations anyway. There are other
important goals that have been set out as things to realize through the
creation of social networks. The fact that it is doing the role of human
interactions and cohesion does not mean it has no other function. To a large
extent, when there is no content delivery among people, their relationships
tend to assume a nosedive and that's why other things must be gained from the
various online forums that exist today. The idea of role play, which is
a common thing in some countries of the world, is to bring about interactions
in two major areas, entertainment, and education.
Moreover, without
registration there can't be any interaction whatsoever. As soon as the
registration on the forum is done as a new member for the sake of
participation, the first point of call is the introduction class where the new
user learns about the existing protocols and get familiar with all the threads
that are ongoing. Visitors to the online role playing community can see
the username of all those who are online in a space of thirty minutes. Those
who are creative writers then post on the forum base on the thread that has
been established or a new one that the person sets up.
