I think this is undeniable that social media has a significant impact on how people form and maintain friendships. As I think right now, forming and maintaining friendships differ from the past. As now you can make friendship with someone from another country just through texting, through any communicating application through internet or social media or watching face-to-face through video calls. So this is changing the way we know about friendship and making friendships and the form of it. After that we used to make our friends face-to-face in the cafe.
