VIRTUAL FRIENDSHIP- CAN IT REPLACE THE REAL ONE?

In the Internet era everything changes, hobbies, love, even friends. It is not strange anymore to speak with people we never seen before, to share our problems, to ask for advice. 

The online friendship begins when two people bond and have things in common, simply like a real friendship. The friends share photos, email each other, chat or hang out eventually.

Someone would ask how can we got a good advice from someone we don't know? Trust it or not, our virtual friends sometimes can give us better advice than our real ones. 

They don't judge us, don't involve themselves in our troubles, no need to take a side,  so the outcome is they are more objective.

For the first time in the story of human friendship, social networks gave us the opportunity to choose friends not by location or luck, but perfect friends by rounding up people with similar interests, hobbies, sense of humor like ours.  It need less time, and what is the most important any time is a good time for chat. Even thought most of this friendship will not be constructed in real it becomes a source of fun and nice time.

For people who are a little bit shy and need more time to make friendship in real, virtual friendship is more comfortable. It affords them the choice to skip face to face talk, to choose topic to speak about, to say their opinion.

This is a good side of virtual friendship, but virtual life brings always darker side. 

We cannot recognize who is a real person on the other side of the screen, it can be totally opposite of what he/she represent. 

People often create a separate persona of themselves online, their real life often does not have a connection with their virtual and they are completely different characters.

Virtual friendship introduced to each of us both sides of friendship.

It needs some time to understand how to cover elements that may reverse against us and make merriment of our sincere friendship. 

Social networks offer numerous people who wait to make use of the desperate need of a friendship and fail to provide the true comfort of friendship. 

But real friendship also has its own dangers and disadvantages. We decide which  kind of friendship we like more- real or virtual?

The best way would be to be careful, but to choose both, at the end it is the 21st century...
