Kimberly Moritz discusses how dating has changed from the 1980’s vs todays society.  It provided a very insightful view of how technology has changed the way individuals interact with one another today vs twenty years ago.  I remember the dating scene in the 80’s and it was very much how Kimberly stated and I view the high school kids today and all their new found technology and I find it very interesting how communication has changed but really stayed very much the same. 

My opinion on this subject is that one way is not really better than the other except that in today’s society, the stress of meeting someone for the very first time is reduced because there are so many ways to get to know individuals through technology, that you can make more informed decisions regarding people long before you ever meet them face to face.  In my opinion this is a good thing.  I think that technology also helps people match with other people that share their same interest not to mention opens up a whole world of individuals to choose from!  My cousin and her husband met on Match.com and they could have searched the world over and not found anyone more suited to their interest.  They are a “perfect couple” and technology allowed them to meet each other in a world where their paths may have never crossed.

Just a reminder: change is not always a bad thing! :)
