Do social networks and frendning discount friends?
In the era of Internet communications, friendship between people becomes less strong. The concept itself depreciates. Experts are trying to analyze what caused this trend and what consequences it threatens.
In American society, the number of friends and the quality of friendship has been declining since at least 1985, recent studies show. Now 25% of Americans do not have a single person whom they could trust. The average number of true friends has decreased from three to two. The percentage of those who are completely locked in with their families has increased from 57% to 80%; they do not trust anyone except their wife - from 5% to 9%. Most likely, as the younger generation grows up, they prefer to communicate mainly via the Internet, the situation will only get worse. Male friendship gradually begins to be associated in society with homosexuality.
The loss of long-term friendship is due to a number of technological reasons, due to which the lifestyle of a modern person is changing. People are now less likely to stay long in one place, often moving to other cities, working remotely via the Internet. It turns out that in the modern globalized Internet world, the total number of social connections has grown by an order of magnitude, but on average they have become much less strong.
