6. Just about anything can
be purchased online!
Thanks to retailers like iTunes and Amazon, you can read
reviews from actual people before you buy an item, and
also see recommended/similar items they have
purchased as well!

norm, replacing phone calls and often
face to face interaction.

11. While traditionally learning is done in a classroom
setting in an educational institution, full of your
neighborhood friends and family. Thanks to the

12. Thanks to sites like instructables.com and
YouTube, gone are the days when we would have
to read manuals or boring texts to learn how to
do something. Instead, we can now just look it
up and have it explained by someone
knowledgable on the subject.

13. Shopping, communicating and learning have all
been redefined in the digital age. The lasting
relationships that were once founded in your
local community can now be established with
people through a network of gloal connection
and instant updating.
14. Accepting that America’s community has shifted
from an analog to a digital form and embracing
it will make you feel connected again. Building
relationships is not limited to face to face
interaction anymore!
