Thanks to advances in technology, nowadays, people from a far distancecanturn up on the screen of our phones and update us on their life through social media. It has been provedthat how we communicate with others and maintain friendships has changed significantly. Even when travelling around in different locations, we can still acquire information from friends. When an idea we want to share strikes us, we can deliver a message only by a click. Besides, the digital age also enables us to find those who share our interests. However, smiling photos might hide real personalities, because people preferto post only good things. While scanning these photos, some may find comfort and passion from those inspiring stories or pictures, while some may end up bitterly ashamed of their plain life. Furthermore, "likes" and comments can make people anxious about their popularity. As for teenagers, they tend to lose track of time online even when they have to study.
Anyway, it’s not reasonable to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We ought to make use of technology to make friends wisely.
