Social media has made and broke many relationships. This article talks about how with social media you can connect with new or old friends by just sending a quick message. This can rekindle a fire and make a great friendship. The only problem that the other states is that he has found that if you do not go out and try to connect to those in a way other than through social media, you can lose them just as quick as you have gained them. The author talks about how it may seem as if you have many friends and they are there for you but if you lack in physical connection they may never really be there for you if you need it.

Alex I really like your article it shows examples of just how important real-life friendships are. I totally understand the importance of social media friends and how important social media can be in keep track of long lost friends or even knew ones but having all social media friends would ultimately bring about a vast number of negative affects, but with all things as this article said there needs to be a balance between the two types of friends
