Online communication can be used to connect relatives, meet new people, and reconnect old friends. Although I don’t have a facebook it is a site that is commonly used to connect old high school friends. Social media has done both, isolating me and bringing me closer in relationships. It has brought me closer because high schoolers my age like to talk about what they post or ask, “Did you see that post I retweeted?” and unless you have seen it and can comment about it the conversation sort of dies.
