How Do You Keep Real Friends In A Cyber World?
• Know that the best way to stay close with your friends is through face time. No, not the iPod app, but really seeing and spending time with that person. • Use the Internet as a tool for light communication only. Make plans or share a funny joke through e-mail, but always save important conversations for when you can see the person in real life. • For friends who live far away, talk often. Share the most mundane things in your life. These are the things that will help you feel closer even when you may live in another country or continent. Do not use technology as an excuse not to see the person. You should always put your biggest effort in if you want to continue your friendship, whether it’s meeting around the corner for coffee, or scheduling a plane ticket for the winter holidays.
