Based on her argument, strong tie relationships will decline as people substitute them with weak tie relationships. More specifically, Turkle states that people are more likely to focus on the virtual community in order to connect with others and avoid too close intimacy. For instance, people do texting while they have chatting and constantly check online email even though…
