Remember, the key to celebrating National Average Friend Day is to keep it comfortably average. No need to go overboard with extravagant gestures or wild proclamations of friendship.
In 1850, the term 'average' gained prominence with the advent of statistics. The field of statistics began to analyze and interpret data in a way that could measure central tendencies, such as the mean or average value of a set of numbers. This allowed for a more quantitative approach to understanding data and trends.
Fast forward to 1920, an era when social networking became popular, thanks to the rise of telephones and postal services. People were able to connect with others who shared common interests, forming bonds and friendships. However, the term 'average' friend didn't exist yet, as society had not yet quantified or measured friendship.
In the 1970s, British anthropologist Robin Dunbar proposed a theory known as Dunbar's number. Dunbar suggested that the human brain has a cognitive limit on the number of stable social relationships one can maintain, estimated to be around 150. This theory sparked interest in quantifying friendship and led to the emergence of the term 'average friend', referring to the number of friends a person has based on this cognitive limit.
With the advent of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter in the mid-2000s, the concept of the 'average friend' gained even more significance. These platforms allowed users to connect with a large number of people and quantify their social networks by displaying the number of friends or followers they had. The term 'average friend' became popular as users compared their friend count to the average number of friends on these platforms.
