More About community

Long ago, people lived in small groups. They helped each other to stay safe. They shared food and fun. This is how communities began.

Today, communities are still very important. They help us make friends. We can play games and learn together. This makes us happy.

In the future, communities may grow even more. We can use the internet to talk to friends far away. This can help us feel close to many people.
