The amazing power of online community
February Story Prompt: Your hobby
With the rise of the internet, we’ve seen countless hobbies transformed in significant ways. Hobbies like plastic modeling or knitting were once solitary endeavors, with interaction amongst hobbyists being very limited or non-existent. Now that people can easily find, connect, and engage with people of like mind and interest, amazing things are happening. Can you share a story about how your hobby has been affected by the internet and online community?
Being part of this project is simple: Think of a time when online community had an impact on you personally and submit your story.
- Maybe you turned to an online community to help support you through tough medical issues.
- Perhaps you met your spouse through an online dating site.
- You could have a new job through a LinkedIn connection.
- Through your hobby community, you’ve found local enthusiasts you now hang out with in-person.
Share your stories. Inspire others to join a community. Help show the world that that online community can change more than just one person’s life.
