Future of Friendship 2020: Future of Online Friends

The future of friendship through web 2.0 may be difficult to predict, yet it is clear that something great is brewing around the future of the internet. I believe everyone needs at least one best friend to talk to and confide in either face to face or through social media networking. It is important to the well being of the society when you have friends outside the family whom you can share ideas with . http://www.futurist.com/articles-archive/society-and-culture/the-future-of-friendship/.
Hopefully, by 2020 the activities, like using the internet to enjoy the opportunities and interaction would be made possible and get better. Friendship online would be more secured leading the way to opportunities we never knew existed.
As Future Internet 2020 explains http://www.future-internet.eu/fileadmin/documents/reports/FI_Panel_Report_v3.1_Final.pdf. We have connectivity today with our friends but it is not everywhere. We have devices but they do not talk to each other. By 2020, the internet “will be both laid out as public infrastures and dynamically created by the objects connecting to one another”.
If we look at how friendship has come to this far through the web then we should keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best in 2020. I believe from the way technology is advancing, web 2.0 will take us to the next level where there will be new ways of interacting, new ways of living and new ways to be entertained. So where do you think online friendship is taking us to?
