"The challenge, [Turkle] contends, is to avoid confusing virtual friendship with the real deal. 'Friendship is about letting something happen between two people that's surprising and new," says Turkle, whereas social networking "gives the illusion of companionship without the demands of intimacy. It's friendship on demand, when I want it'" (Kahn 380).
Friendships that happen on social media sites are very different than real life friendships. Turkle says that they are both acceptable forms of friendship, as long as we remember that they are different. Networking sites allow the user to control friendships more than people in real life friendships who are forced to deal with each others' differences. Turkle argues that this may be more intimate than friendships on social networking sites (Kahn 380).
