#1 I had the pleasure of working with a young man named Abayomi in 2007, who lived in a rural village in Africa and participated in the Ubuntu community via an Internet cafe. His passion for the community was not just that he could make an impact, but that his impact was amplified when combined with other people in the community.

#2 I wanted to understand how the Internet cafe worked, and I knew that my responsibility as a community leader was to make sure that Abayomi got the most out of his hour there.

#3 The scripture about communities dying was not entirely generational grumblings about the young guns. Historically, communities used to be distinctly local in nature: they existed in your region, in your town, and potentially even on your street. They manifested in local book clubs, knitting circles, political meetings, gaming clubs, and more.

#4 The ’90s saw the world become more connected. People wanted to engage and connect with each other, and they wanted to share ideas, information, and creativity. Unsurprisingly, early communities started forming like clustered amoebas in this rudimentary online pond.
