Friends and distance

There is a common belief that distance ruins love and friendship. When people loose the possibility to communicate with each other frequently, they simply stop trying to communicate.
It is very difficult to keep in touch with a person that lives far away from you and millions of kilometres are between you. But the development of technology and science gives a lot of possibilities to continue communicating.
But still friendship is possible in any conditions even if you communicate with your friend once a year. Real friends will remember their relations and their love and care.
It also depends a lot on demands of a person to friendship. If several talks with a friend are enough, then distance won't be a problem for friends. But if a person needs to see, hear his/her friend every day, then distance may really ruin friendship.
Thanks to telephone, internet, mail we have a lot of possibilities to keep in touch with our friends even if they live on other continents.
Internet gives a lot of options of communication. It allows you not only to talk to each other, but also to send photos to a friend in few minutes. With the help of web camera you may see a person while talking to him. Besides, a great number of sites, chats, forums, e-mails, messengers help people not to loose friends and to find already lost.
Telephone is a great creation of humanity. It gives a lot of possibilities to a person. You may talk to a person any time. Besides, the service of telephone operators becomes cheaper and cheaper. And every day operators offer you a lot of new options of communication. SMS is another way of communication possible thanks to self-phone. You may write a message telling how you miss your friend and that you want to see your friend as soon as possible.
But distance may also make the relations of friends closer. When people don't see each other for a long time, then they have a lot of news to tell to each other.
