I would say that my Facebook friends are not the same as my real friends simply because they could’ve been a suggestion from the social network site. Or we could have had a mutual friend in common. Maybe it could just be the fact that I have had no physical interaction with this person who I call my ‘friend’. It takes physical interaction to know someone and the internet provides us with this electronic interaction between people and as a result we can’t really ‘know’ the person. Another point would be the fact that talking to a person face to face allows us to see what they are like rather than what they want us to see them as. Real friends have also gotten to know me as well because we could just be two liars talking to each other to make us seem greater than what we are.
