Scientist Dr Russell Carley is interested in finding out about friendship in the 21 st century. He started
by trying to answer the question: “Can online friends be as good as face-to-face friends?”
Surprisingly, he found that the answer is a big yes! A friend is someone who gives you honest advice
and support, and, of course, an online friend can do that. When you feel anxious in the middle of the
night, there's always someone who can give you support through a text, a message or just a 'like'.

Having online friends is good for your memory, too. There's a lot of information to check every day.
When you see an interesting holiday picture, you make a note in your mind to ask your pal about it
next time they're online, or when you're together in person. Also, you can find friends who have the
same interests as you more easily. For most of us, the online community provides support, it builds
our confidence, and we feel loved.

So, if online friends are so good, do we need real friends? Interestingly, Dr Carley's research suggests
that we do. As he points out, with your real friends, you are in the same physical space; you create
memories together as you experience and enjoy doing things with each other. You have to be more
responsible with your real friends, as you can't just 'unfriend' them if you disagree with them!
Dr Carley explains the science. “When you are with your friends, you get hugs and high fives.
Hugging is good for us because our body produces a chemical called oxytocin that makes us feel
good and we also feel trust and love. Chatting to your best pals, you copy their words and gestures.
When they smile, you smile too! So, in conclusion, both real friends and online friends are great -
they just help us in different ways.”
