Information and Society 50-60

Going off of what Buckland said about what it means for a community to "know" something, I think it's interesting to examine the different communities that we simultaneously exist in. For example, everyone in the U.S is part of a community, and perhaps most or all of us have some knowledge of parts of our countries history. But we also are separated into states and cities, each with their own standards of common knowledge. I also think the internet is allowing us to bridge some of the divides of these separate communities, by giving us access to information about other parts of the world or people that we would never know about otherwise.
