Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. The digital age also enables us     3     (find) people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or     4     (play) an unusual instrument. Whatever our     5     (hobby) are, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.

However, the “friends” online don’t necessarily become our real friends. If people always exchange true     6     (person) information online, then these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media     7     (be) often not the whole truth about a person. On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates    8    make them appear happy and friendly and the smiling photos can hide real problems.

    9    , this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bath water. Although in recent years technology    10     (change) the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.
