5 Culture today
… the BIG DEBATE: Should you make your friends in real life or in cyberspace?
We spend an increasing amount of time making friends on social networking sites instead of spending time with real friends. Is this a good or a bad thing?
Making friends is easy now. in cyberspace we have the opportunity to meet people who live thousands of miles away, so we can make friends with people from different cultures and learn a lot from them.
What’s the point of having friends who live far away? I think it’s better to be able to make friends with people who live nearby, people who you can meet at the weekend in a real situation.
Online community
