Technology has done a lot for the world and while there are ways that it may have changed some of the good ol’ ways of connection, there are ways that it enhances community and communication. Here are a few ways that you can embrace the community with technology: 

Inform and connect through live streaming 

If you’re looking to provide important information to your local community, there’s something to be said about the benefits of real-time streaming. Live streaming has become supremely popular since the pandemic started and nowadays, it’s become a tool that can help people learn and bring people closer for all kinds of special occasions. 

Live streaming allows you to go online and connect from the comfort of your home while sharing information through this useful technology. During the pandemic, live stream events became very popular, and today, it’s still used for people who want to connect with their loved ones, when they can’t be present in person. Connection is made easier with tools like this one. 

Provide valuable information through VR

If you’re running a business and you want to connect with your audience and community in a brand-new way, VR has become a tool that isn’t just used for gamers looking to game. You can advertise through the use of virtual reality or provide training to your team using this amazing technology. 

Providing information on a complex topic is made so much easier when you can use virtual reality tools. There are a lot of things that can be complicated to explain or at the very least, time-consuming to educate on through written means. Even video may not be that easy to use for explaining topics. But with the right kind of virtual reality tools, people can “experience” the concept for themselves. 

Host live seminars and conferences for low-income communities

If you’re someone who cares about building community in communities that need some extra attention, using technology to do this can help to bridge the gap that there may be through the ease it allows you to take an idea to the execution phase. 

From providing valuable information that can simplify the lives of those you’re trying to serve to hosting fun events that help to connect people in these communities, there are many ways to use tech to connect people who may not have the means to either connect or learn otherwise. In a world where it may not be easy to attend powerful seminars to learn, technology can make it easier for those who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity. 

Educate kids through online classes 

After-school classes given online can help you to provide valuable support for children who may not have the opportunity to attend after-school classes and activities. Because low-income children aren’t always provided the same kind of “educational” support that other children might receive due to the cost of these services, free online classes that help children learn new skills or other beneficial talents can make a world of difference for those who may not get the opportunity to learn them in another kind of way. 

Network through online meeting rooms 

Networking isn’t something that is only reserved for in-person live events. Nowadays, you can hop into meeting rooms, whether you use social media apps like Instagram or sites like Discord. Networking with other people online may be a new concept for you but the reality is that there’s nothing quite like being able to build community from your phone or laptop, especially during busy work weeks where you may otherwise not have time to attend networking events. 

While you shouldn’t ignore in-person events for networking whenever possible, also consider the valuable aspect of online connection. 

In Conclusion 

While some people gripe that connection is more challenging because of technology, it can actually help people connect in ways they wouldn’t be able to otherwise. There’s something to be said about how tech can help us build more community in today’s world!
