"Online" friends....

I love the internet, it's made the world a smaller place.

One of my favourite thing about being online is all the friends I've made.

I know people from all walks of life, all shapes and sizes who mean a lot to me despite the face I haven't met them.

The internet has made it so easy to communicate, it's opened up a world where you can interact with people you wouldn't necessarily meet through work or your social circle.

We can share aspects of our lives both teaching and learning about different countries, cultures and languages and I think that's amazing.

Internet Friends

I don’t know what the big deal is with people having “internet friends”. In the days before computers and the internet they used to be called “pen friends”.

The principle is basically the same, you’ll probably never actual meet them face to face, but you communicate via the written word (and in this day and age, via video and web cams).

The only real difference is that communication is more instantaneous than the days of the snail mail letters sent to each other.
