While thinking of a research topic, while trying to best relate it with technology, the first thing that came to my mind was how crazy about it some people are. Ten years ago, how many people would have called you crazy by meeting the person you married, online? Most likely, people would think you were absolutely nuts. Today, it’s so often you hear of people going to “Match.com” or “FindLove.com” or whatever they may be. Also the relationship to how internet social networks affect people’s social skills now a days. Someone could write novels on a computer, expressing their feelings, and that same person, may not be able to carry on a conversation to your face for longer than 30 seconds. Overall, I guess its just interesting to me HOW the internet can affect people’s social skills, and just how many different ways its being used today.
