Social Networks and Relationships

New Media has become an unprecedented force in social interaction. 1 in 8 couples married in the U.S. met online. Dating sites like eharmony have made millions in revenue and terms like "facebook stalk" have been use to use to describe clingy boyfriends/girlfriends. How has this trend come about? what happen to meeting someone in a bar or talking to someone face to face? have we become so immerse in the internet that we even try to find a spouse online like how we look for a jacket on the Gap website?

    I absolutely agree with you... Online dating became so common that people forgot how real dates looks like. I am very disappointed with that 'new thing' because I rather go on a nice dinner, or movie, or show rather than chat online for few hours, where at the end you will not meet anyway, or meet and not like the person at all.
