Summary:Community engagement in the future must consider how to organize, engage, and build community in virtual spaces, an endeavor that should include investment in building technological infrastructure and increasing accessibility to the best available technologies in underresourced communities. An additional aspect of supporting the creation and capacity of virtual communities lies in providing training and resources to help people maximize and personalize technology to work for their needs and lifestyle.
