Online social networking site are basically based on friendship. How do you think about this friendship? Is this types of friendship is of different characteristic than the real life friendship. How do you feel about this virtual life. It is real even more than than the real life. But not like real. Virtual life is now part of the human life in modern civilization. It a world of feelings and imagination. How do you imagine and figure out this life?

My virtual life is a part of my real life and vice versa. Most of the friends on my Facebook are friends and family from my real life. I think I only have one or two from my virtual life. There are obvious limitations to the virtual friends we make. Unless they live in your hometown, you're not likely to get together for dinner and a movie. At the same time, the virtual world eliminates other limitations. I now have friends in Thailand, the Philippines, the UK and India! Of course, many of these friends are little more than acquaintances and the level of understanding between us isn't as intimate as with someone I grew up with, perhaps, but I treasure some of those friends very deeply. Basically I see these online relationships as a very good thing in my life. I'm disabled and am often confined to my bed for long periods of time. My "real life" friends don't come to visit very often and without my virtual friends, I would be very lonely, indeed. i know that there are some online who lie and pretend to be someone they are not but most of the people I've made friends with are very real with me and I'm glad to have them in my life.

Yes you are right some people are connected with this relationship from real life . But apart from those people who we meet in real, some other are attached with this relation whom we never meet in real life. But the important impact of this virtual world is that we can keep touch with the whole world. This virtual world is now bring the whole wold to the computer screen. We are now life in the world in our drawing wold. Now the distance is there to keep touch with anyone from round the world sitting behind monitor. The online relation is also part of life now. Thought most of the people attached with this relation has no chance to meet in real but this never be any obstacle in the continuity of such relation. In even real life we meet some people who are cheater. It is right that in this virtual life such activities are more then real life relation. But there are so many loyal and genuine person in this virtual world, who are more loyal even than the real life relation.

I have an email pal in Scotland and we email back and forth all the time. We have been friends for less than a year and met through a social site for older folks. The site went dormant for a while so she and I exchanged personal emails and continued our relationship. I love her very much and she is a good friend. I also met some friends on my gaming sites and they keep in touch on Facebook. Not all friends are going to be in all venues. Most of us move on after school and few of us keep the friends we made in school. An online friend will be there no matter where you move or where they move. They will always be online. I love my online friends! They save me from an existence that would otherwise be completely isolated due to my disability.

I think a life between false and very modern, as securing false because what are the intentions of the person across the computer, because you use very modern and pure tecnology, but it´s like not being neither here nor there, converts, view a scree, I miss.

Yes with the development and evolution of civilization human nature is also growing more critical. Some time we can't figure out the difference of virtual life and real life. Now virtual life is part of real life. But still we have little hesitation and suspicion on the virtual life. Though we believe our virtual friend still we have suspicion towards our virtual friend.

virtual friendship is based if you know them irl, you can add them. If you want to get to know them, you can add and hope they ask you who you are, and give a clevar response. or if you use myspace, you can add everyone you want. If you have virtual friends, you can still have nobody talk to you at school.

Virtual friendship may turn to real life friendship. And this types of friendship is now part of modern life. One there was a kind of friendship that was penfriend. Now net friendship takes the place of penfriend. But this is the facility to make friendship from the round of the world. Thought it is not physical attachment but we can't ignore the important of such types of relationship.
