| 英文摘要 |
The study was designed to reveal the understanding, experiences, and feelings of the generation of digital natives towards “social media sites / online dating apps.” To this end, the study was targeted specifically at the current college students in Taiwan, approximately born in 1999 to 2003, and utilized interview technique to collect the empirical data. Based on the research findings, the current generation of digital natives, without being judgmental, has been familiar with making friends via social media sites /online dating apps. Consequently, the boundary between “face-to-face friends” and “internet friends,” from the perspectives of the group, appears to be blurred. In light of the findings, the study further asserted that there has been a phenomenon of “thin friendship” emerging among the present generation of digital natives, and results in four “fluid” types of friends, including “face-to-face friends,” “passing-by strangers,” “stranger-like friends (one-dimension friends),” and “friend-like strangers (daily disposable friends),” and the later two are the so-called “thin friendship” in the study. Some educational implications for the curriculum were addressed in the end.
