They think it is a good way to keep in touch with（与……保持联系）their friends in tact, people like doing different activities in the past and now.
The activities friends like
In the past Today

However, experts worry that many young people are so busy connecting with friends online that they may lose their real-world friendships（友谊）. Different people may have different ideas.
Technology hurts friendships. When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen, it's easier to misread（误读）their tones（语调）or body languages, We might think friends are happy while they're actually upset. A friend might send a text message as a joke that says. "You're the worst friend!" But our feelings might be hurt because we think he's serious. —Andy
Technology doesn't hurt friendships. In fact, it can make them stronger. My best friends live in California where I used to live. The last time I met them in person was three years ago. But I talk to them online every week. It feels like they're right there with me. Without technology, we may not be close friends anymore. —Anna
According to experts, staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships. Spending time together face-to-face is also quite important, especially when people are in trouble. During the hard times, people don't need someone who likes their pictures or posts. What they really need is someone who can offer them help.
