The Virtual Community

A virtual community is a group of individuals who connect, communicate, and share interests through online platforms, such as forums, social media, or chat groups. Unlike physical communities, members interact digitally, often across geographic boundaries, fostering social bonds, collaboration, and information exchange. Virtual communities can be built around hobbies, professional goals, support needs, or shared ideas, providing a sense of belonging and engagement without face-to-face interaction. They leverage the internet to create spaces where people can learn, discuss, and support each other, empowering diverse, global connections.
