FThe local
community now extends internationally via Internet.
Thousands of examples can be found, many of which are very tiny.
E.g., another personal one:
–Last year, my
16 year old son had to do a school homework
assignment on Sigmund Freud
–He found the best information on Intenet sites in Vienna, Berlin, London and Washington
–This
information from international sources helped him in his local community role as a student in Wayland High School
