We think that the reason for the drop of close friends in the past couple of years is not because we do not have friends, but because we have less close friends. This might sound a little weird, but I think that now a days since we have more friends, our expectations of close friends have gone up. Before people had less acquaintances and so they considered friends that they knew well, but were not necessarily close, "close friends". We also agree with Sara, Mary and Dawn with the fact that now, with technology, we can keep in touch with a wide range of people, and we meet new people without really being close friends with them.

I completly agree with your response to this lab, but I think that your response here is just a little contradictory to your Facebook lab.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you guys because i know that i have a few close friends, but then i have friends who are more acquaintances. It is nice to have friends.
