The Power of Parasocial Relationships

The top social networks and sources of information used by people outside many developed countries are Facebook and WhatsApp. We also have these sort of hybrid parasocial relationships where there are friends that we see in person, every other month, we invite over for dinner. So I feel like we're entering this age in which it is very possible to have a very vibrant, fulfilling social life yet not necessarily interact on a regular back and forth tatatat personal relationship basis with someone.
