For groups to have good interaction three main things are
needed: reason, tools, and bargain. These are not just about groups of a
person’s closets friends, but also about online social groups such as a blog
for stay-at-home moms, groups for single people to meet others, etc. Groups
can’t come together just for the sole-purpose of being together, but because of
the complexity of the interaction of the group. Everything today, in terms of
technology, is customizable which makes it slightly easier to use in group
settings. For better group interactions, these technologies are customizable to
the interest of the group as a whole. The interaction of the group is very
important because it is, essentially, what keeps the group together. Of course
every group has their fair share of issues. In some cases a stay-at-home mom
may no longer be considered part of that group because she began working, so
would she no longer be a part of this group? Dilemmas such as this arise
constantly in all groups, but just because one out of many end up leaving the
group does not mean failure for the entire group as a whole.
Technology of all kinds bring a wide array of people
together through a common interest of the people. Everyone tends to desire to
be a part of something, especially if a common interest is shared. A “healthy”
group tends to be able to stick together, and thus forming more social groups
through the use of or current technology.
