Answer to Question 1

Virtual communities provided an important service to the small number of people who regularly used the Internet in its early days.

Answer to Question 2

In the mid-1990s, virtual communities formed in Web chat rooms and sites devoted to specific topics or the general exchange of information. As the bandwidths available to Internet users increased, photos and video became commonplace additions to the discussions in these communities.
