National Internet Friends Day

A lonely person never feels complete and happy. Everyone has a need for communication, although it varies in degree. National Internet Friends Day is dedicated to friendship on social networks. Sometimes communicating with people online is much easier than in real life.

History

Currently, there are numerous ways to find friends. On the Internet, there are dating sites where people from all over the world try to find real friends and future romantic partners. Most people tend to devalue communication on social networks, but in reality, it’s no worse than talking in person.

Online relationships are just as important. You can share your most personal experiences with your friends without worrying about your safety. It is enough to get to know your interlocutor well. Such friendships are considered the most honest. Circumstances do not force people to communicate; they do their best to get closer. They are helped by common interests or views.

Fears have arisen with the increase in the number of scammers on the Internet. For security reasons, it is better not to share personal data with everyone you meet. There may be deception everywhere, but some relationships with pen pals go on for years. Sometimes, correspondence alone is not enough. People regularly call and try to get closer despite the distance.

Fun Facts

• In 1997, social networks began to gain popularity. People were looking for ways to share the latest news, show themselves to the world, and find new acquaintances.
• Multiplayer games unite people. Users who work in a team turn into a cohesive unit. Sometimes they are more comfortable in the virtual world than in the real one because in the first case they can be who they always wanted to be.
• When starting a new relationship on the Internet, be cautious. It’s not just about scammers. There is a great risk of becoming attached to a person you may never meet.

How to Celebrate

It’s worth throwing an internet party. Gather all your friends from social networks and set a time for a video call. Don’t forget the time zone differences. The time should be convenient for everyone. Alternatively, try to reconnect with friends you haven’t spoken to in a long time. Today is the perfect day to remind them of yourself and ask about recent events.
