Nowadays people make new friends through social networks and internet chat groups. Some people think this is good. Others think face-to-face interaction is essential. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

On

this

day people meet new friends through dedicated app and websites. While someone can think that a human interaction is essential, many others believe that a digital communication can help to maintain and empower the existing relationships. Personally, I believe that a personal interaction is fundamental.

nowadays the technology and the expansion of the internet gives us the opportunity to interact with other people not only by calling, but

also

with a live stream video, I think that nothing of that can be compared to a face-to-face interaction.

This

way is possible to have a walk together or sit in a place, watch and discover new thing that can be discussed and analysed immediately. Meeting new friends on the internet can be sometime useful for those people that needs to work or study for a long amount of time abroad. In

this

way they can create a community of people with the same interest and have a social life. But I believe that, except for particular cases

this

kind of relationship is not made to

last

.

For example

, I used to find new friends on the web while I was studying as an Erasmus in Spain. I was able to create a good community of friends, but as soon as I came back to my country all my friends slowly disappeared.

This

because if you don't live the same reality with someone is very difficult to share common interests. Overall, I think that the best solution is to balance

these

two aspects and know new people on the web without any expectation, but

also

having a solid community of real friends which lives in the same reality and situation.
