Virtual community relate to family?

Question

Is this virtual community a family? If it is, does technology enrich and expand family or denigrate it?)

Answer 1

The virtual community could be considered a virtual family, but the relationship is extremely tenuous. Technology has allowed access by the many - whether able bodied or suffering disability, to a world of possibilities, but also to dangers (paedophile groomers of youngsters for example.)

The family can benefit from the information, but suffer due to the downsides of the same. Like most things, there are positives and negatives.

Hope this input helps.
