STAYING IN TOUCH

Modern life is getting busier and busier. And the busier it gets, the more isolated people can feel. These days, people have fewer opportunities to meet friends, because they work harder, and have less time to socialise. Some say that social-networking sites allow them to stay in touch with friends more easily. Sue Weeks decided to test this theory. She stayed in for a week and only contacted her friends via Facebook, one of the most popular social-networking sites. Her view? 'It was great for staying in touch with friends I don't see very often or whol live far away, but it wasn't the most exciting week I've ever had.' The least appealing aspect for Sue was not seeing the people she gets on with best. Her final verdict: 'It was more fun than I expected, but it's less satisfying than meeting people face to face.'
