Read the following text and write a brief comment on it (30 words):
More and more people nowadays make new friends in the internet. They use social networks like Facebook to meet other people and they stay for hours in front of their computers, using the keyboard and the webcam to communicate. Personally, I think that this way of meeting your friends has some advantages, but also some negative side-effects.
It is possible to meet people from all over the world, and you have the possibility to talk to friends who live in other countries. The problem is that sometimes you use the internet not only to talk to a friend who lives, for example, in England, but also to communicate with someone who lives near to your house. I don't like it. I still prefer to have “real” friends and meet them in a “real” place, and not in the virtual coldness of the internet.
