Community

Sketch/Draw/Sketchnote
After reading about the Well, early social apps like eWorld and hearing about BBS’s think about how the experience of community—social—has changed since the early days of the internet? What elements are still the same? How do you think the concepts of HyperText enabled or encouraged community? What kinds of things are new now that bandwidth and ubiquitousness of mobile phones has come about?

Draw a sketchnote or series of sketches that illustrate your thoughts on the class blog. Use the category Community on your post so that it shows up in the right category in the navigation.
