Friends Together Forever!

By: Sarah Rafiq

The decisions we make in life affect the friends we keep and the friends we lose along the way. But what if your intention wasn’t to get rid of that friend at all? What if some where some how you just lost contact with them and your lives took you in separate directions. That’s where social media plays a big part in reuniting lost friends.

There’s no better feeling then when your sifting through your friends contact lists on Facebook and you come across someone you used to be close with years ago. The first thing you do is friend them and send them a message somewhere along the lines of “OMG Is that you! I haven’t seen you in forever! How have you been?” and so it starts.

http://www.friendsreunited.co.uk/ is a website dedicated to bring old friends together and helping reconnect that old friendship. I think in the future they will come up with better technology to track down long lost friends and reunite people. I think it will actually go farther than friends and help out families with lost family members and things like that. I think websites will be developed where you can enter your information and the information of the person you’re looking for and this website will look far and wide on the internet and find people who match that exact description.

I think that would be a great invention for someone to come up with I guess where just going to have to wait and see what people come up with.
