The development of technology has affected human life in many different ways. The majority of the effects are good; however, some of the effects are not for the best. One of the many problems of technology is the effect on society and socializing, and this thesis concentrates on one of the problems, loneliness which caused by technology. Loneliness is one of the major problems of this time and era, and it ends up leading to various other problems such as depression and suicide.
The thesis tried to solve this problem created by technology with technology itself and create an idea and application that could somehow solve this problem. Friends Around Me (FAM) application could arrange and show physically close friends to each other when each friend had time to socialize. Especially in the user's available time, FAM will find another free friend and will suggest these two to each other to share the same activity at the same time and place.
FAM is divided into two different parts that show friends to each other if they are in the same area and both are free. This is not just a location sharing application; it only shows those friends who are in the same area. The second part is based on big data and artificial intelligence that collect different types of data from the user and arrange a free time to both friends. In this part, the application collects different types of data from a smartphone’s apps and sends it to the server to analyze and arrange with other users and friends to find a common free time with the same activity for those friends. This document introduces an idea and concept that has been tested.
