4. History of Virtual Volunteering Virtual Marketing goes as far back as the 1970’s, which saw the first wave of people (Project Gutenberg) digitizing books for a new market, a trend which has resulted in the creation of the Kindle, a modern day popular device that contains virtual books. Today virtual volunteering has grown to an outstanding level, with organisations such as the United Nations having their own Volunteer networks.
5. Micro-Volunteering The term Micro-Volunteering is another form of online volunteering in which volunteers are not required to go through any screening process, and are not under any oath to complete their tasks. The volunteer opportunities are sent via modern mobile phones, dubbed “smart-phones”, as well as other digital pocket devices with an internet connection.
