I still remember a time when
you had to find friends in person
but now by simply pushing buttons
on phones one can connect with
so many others far and away
I fear that real friends face extinction
as social media friends take over

This is a statement of our times. Thanks you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteArcadia you are so right. There will come a time when the memories of people making face to face friends will fade, then disappear. I hope I'm gone by then.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we take the time to make real friends.
ReplyDeleteInteresting viewpoint Arcadia, and one worth considering by a species that is growing more and more disconnected — from each other, and our planet.
ReplyDeleteI know...can't be sure if those social media friends are real or not though...
ReplyDeleteUnless I can touch them, they aren'y real
ReplyDeleteI love our community of writers, but I need physical human contact from time to time: facial expressions, body language, voices and touch. As long as we can reach each other, by bus, train or car, friends won’t become extinct.
ReplyDeleteI hope that in the end we will find someone for real that we meet online.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone
