　　“REMOVE from friends.”

　　This is no ordinary button. One click and I have the power to erase a person from my life.

　　In late fall, I had around 400 friends on Facebook. Today, I have 134.

　　Click. Make that 133.

　　When Facebook first entered my life in 2005, I panicked（恐慌、担心） that my friend count was too low. If I wasn’t properly connected, how would anyone see my clever quote(引语)? Who would wish me a happy birthday? I accepted and sent out friend requests without a second thought and soon accumulated 391 friends.

　　There is an appeal to being able to communicate with someone or just “thumbs(拨动手指) up” a photo rather than make real conversation.

　　“It’s comforting and it’s easy,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, who studies the way people communicate online.” There’s a sense of belonging in it. It’s a sense of community in a generation where community has sort of (有点)disappeared.”

　　However, I don’t talk to half of these people in the online community. There are some I would avoid if I met them on the street.

　　Click. 132.

　　I decided to rid my account of any “friend” that…well, wasn’t. Sound easy? You try it.

　　Look at who you’re dealing with: family, friends, classmates, crushes(爱恋的对象), acquaintances…
