The Internet has actually given my close friends and I the means to stay in touch, especially now that a good portion of our crowd have finished college and/or moved away.
I have my close real life friends, my acquaintances, and my Internet friends. There are Internet friends I feel close to, mostly because we've shared a lot about ourselves in conversation. And I know some day I will meet all of them. Someday.
I think television and other forms of entertainment are more to blame than the Internet; they prevent us from forming local connections and joining the community at large.
