Why does the author say “But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater” Do you know of any similar sayings in Chinese
Because although technology has changed the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.
I know other similar saying, such as, everything has two sides.

I don‘t prefer to make friends online. Because although it's interesting to know a strang er through the Internet, only a few of us have succeeded in getting a real good friend in this way. Most of us have been cheated. Some of us even have committed crimes with the friends online. So we should be careful of making friends online.
