We think that there are less 'close friends' on average than there used to be because we all have more acquaintances. In this point in time people on average have a lot of friends but fewer close friends. Technology has gotten better so now we can keep in contact with more people instead of just a few that you are really close with. Now a days, there are inventions like a cell phone. Cell phones give people the oppertunity to call friends and family through a wireless device and text message which is typing in words on a phone. Cell phones make it easier to talk to friends and keep in contact with each other but it makes us actually hang out with people less because we don't need to see them to talk. This can make you friends with a lot of poeple but it allows to drift from people too because we aren't actually seeing our close friends as much. With texting and facebook and all that other technology people can talk to a wider range of people and be in many different social groups but not necessarily be close with many people.
