Do you think that the popularity of Internet communities will change?

Many online communities exist, I could mention a few but I am sure that there would be many I would leave out.

Some ideas come to mind, for example, virtual chats, forums etc., Do you think they are overrated, do you think they are worth the time and effort?

Do you think that in time people will go back to relying on the old fashioned way of chatting, meeting up and relating to people, like actually just doing it more than sitting on a computer?

I personally miss that. I am more of a real time person than a cyber person. I find the UK is quite absorbed with the Internet in various ways.

Would you go with the theories that people who spend lots of time building online relationships have issues, like for example social phobia or other inadequacies? I’m sure too many have been disapointed in online relationships in many ways?
