Connecting Through Groups
Carrie Tynan
The Internet can provide many services to society.
It is full of valuable information and resources. In addition to looking
for information people can connect through chat rooms, instant messengers
and message boards. Email list services are very useful and convenient.
Messages can be sent to your email individually or in a daily digest sent
every week. Many groups offer the choice of visiting their message board
or receiving emails. Yahoo and MSN have a wide of variety of groups from
support to just friendship. I find them informative, supportive and just
plain fun. Several are just newsletters sent to email boxes like Disability
Grapevine at yahoo groups. This group's purpose is to keep the Disability
community informed of issues concerning them that is in the news. Other
groups provide a support group atmosphere for people to discuss every day
stress with their disabilities or just to chat about life. MSN has an excellent
group called Disabilities Meeting Place for people to visit and help one
another. There are groups for people with specific needs like certain disabilities
like hearing impaired. There are groups that focus in on sports, fitness,
hobbies and entertainment. Take advantage of all usefulness the Internet
has to offer explore new places.
