Online Social Relationships

I found this article to be very interesting, however possibly outdated.  Looking at the first study about the bankers is hard to believe in our current age.  Taken from experience, an email at work is as official as a memorandum or order gets.  This is because the evidence and tracking that emails contain.  It always tells you the time and date sent, and whether it was received or not.  Maybe I'm not understanding the study as intended.  I found it interesting that this study concluded that in comparison, emailing is not as good as a phone call or a face to face meeting for developing and sustaining social relationships in general.  Student or Banker.  I find it hard to believe that it is that concrete between every age group that.  I can understand that telephonic and face to face interactions are more personal than messaging, however I feel in my society, today we tend to message more than actually talk on the phone or see face to face.  Overall, this was an interesting article.
