why do older generation people keep their friends?

[dmt]

Older people are less inclined to follows things like Facebook, Twitter and other modern ways of communication. They don't get caught up in gossip, posting pictures, bragging or talking about others online. And that's how a lot of modern friendships fall apart.

Also, young people today have no "instinct", not much common sense and definitely no patience. Their values are also superficial. Whereas older people who were not brought up on such technology value actual face to face contact and don't rely on rumor or gossip to judge a person.

They are a face to face generation.
