This title of this article is Social Media's Impact on Relationships. The article talks about how people need to have real life relationships and not just online ones. The article talks about how people with fewer social relationships die earlier on average than people with more social relationships. It also mentions that the Internet is good way to immediately connect with others. Being on the Internet makes it very easy to keep in contact with old friends that haven't been around for awhile. They have done studies too that show that people still need real life friends and to not just rely on Internet friends. Studies have also shown that people tend to put their best foot forward while interacting on social media.
I actually came across this article as well. It makes some very good points concerning relationships. Social media is a wonderful way to connect with people that you would be unable to connect with otherwise. As long as it's used responsibly social media can be a great outlet for relationships.
