Online Relationships

While I communicate online on social networking sites, I don't really spend that much time communicating on the internet as a whole. I prefer face to face communication and usually have too busy of a schedule to spend time online. I have never had a friendship that was exclusively online. I never got addicted to the computer lifestyle like many of my friends did with the online games and chatrooms. I think this is because online communication is very limited.
In a regular old style relationship, you see a person in a face to face contact and hear their voice on the phone. In a online relationship, you never see or hear the person if it is only text based. Of course there are ways where you can communicate over video chat and things. I just feel like you have to make more of a connection with a person than just communicating through an online medium. I don't feel like I spend enough time online to maintain a relationship with a person with that being the only medium
