The drawing view of friendship claims that friendship is a matter of two individuals being able to mutually understand each other, that they come to know themselves better, and ultimately shape their own identities in response to their friendship. There has been some discussion as to whether friendships developed over the internet, via social media, email, or text messaging, or other forms of digital communication can meet these conditions for friendship. In the paper, “Unreal Friends,” Dean Cocking and Steve Matthews argue that internet friendships, on the drawing view, cannot develop; while, in the paper “Real Friends: How The Internet Can Foster Friendship,” Adam Briggle argues that they can. In this paper I will argue that friendships can develop on the internet, adding that the immediacy of communication over the internet allows for individuals to come to know each other to the degrees necessary for friendship; however, I will argue that this immediacy of communication over the internet might lead us to be, using Susan Wolf’s term, motivationally rooted, not to the real world, but to the internet, or other digital worlds. This then requires us to investigate whether a life spent in a digital world is as valuable as a life spent in the real world.
