Check out the quote! There was a time when friends had to live in the same neighborhood. The mail system improved, and pen pals became a thing. Airlines, cars and travel improved connections.
We have gone one step further. People really can be best friends and never meet in person. Technology has made it possible. You can talk face to face (almost) on facebook – skype and other devices. So to some of my very best friends, aren’t we glad that technology granted us the chance to meet.

I believe we can still have genuine feelings for people we have never met in person, friendship is mainly about empathy, as the quote states somehow. It’s like getting emotional while watching a movie, we can say it’s just a movie, but it is able to touch our heart.
