Inspred from the topic The Future of television, music and other entertainment?, I decided to create a new one, similar, but focused only on online communities (chats, forums, newsgroups, message boards and so on). Do you think that people will eventually take them for granted and start getting fed up with them? I mean, is it about time that the status quo changes? Are we too addicted to forums, chats, e-mail and so on. Because I am and I'm getting fed up with most of the communities. Not that I hate communicating, but all those flame wars. Why are people so scandal-prone online? How is it called... that fenomenon? are you fed up with the same topics over over again? For example: "What is your facorite color/music style?" is a topic that is discussed in every forum and I don't participate in such topics any more. Do you get fed up with online chats and forums, especially when they are gneral-topic ones?

No.

Do you not participate in those topics anymore because you are embarrased of your answers?  No one should judge you because your favourite colour is the big pretty one or because you like songs where you stick your right foot in and shake it all about

I think he's a passive aggressive, antisocial individual.  Or . . . he could just be a punk who's 32 years old and still lives in his parents basement. :)

People are much more open online than offline. They are more likely to type something they wouldn't dare say face to face. I don't think web communities are going anywhere anytime soon. Quite the opposite, with blogging, messageboarding, chatting & whatever else more popular than ever. The idea of socialising and forming web communities has happened long since the WWW was a normal everyday thing and it will continue long into the future.  ;)
