http://psychcentral.com/lib/social-medias-impact-on-relationships/

This article is from psychcentral.com and begins by discussing how people that have social connections live longer than those that don't have as many connections. However, the question of whether or not social media relationships count is raised very early on as well. The article then goes on to discuss how these relationships are replacing in-person relationships. This article says that social media relationships aren't as fulfilling overall and that we need to have balance in order to keep ourselves alive as long as those with abundant real-life social connections.
