Having friends online is a nice way to keep in touch and see what they're  up to, but is having too much friends uncool? Ian daly's essay ,"virtual popularity isn't cool-it's pathetic" states that as so. He states that it's not cool to have a lot of friends especially if you don't even know them. Ian talks of "mass infantization" of our culture and also states  online popularity can cause an adult-male to convert and "behave like 13 year-old girls. Ian concludes that,"if you resist you  will be vindicated" and nobody wants that.

      I agree with the fact that it is uncool to have lots of friends on social networking sites or even apps especially if you don't talk to them or even know them. I also think that it's pointless to keep on having to check on your account to see if someone messages you or not, or even poked you. But I also believe that social networking is a great way to keep up with the news wether it be from society or between friends. Social networking is a must have to be cool, but is uncool to over  socialize. I think that people should just stop worrying about what others would think and just do them.
