    Technology has created a world in which no one has to interact in person anymore. You can search the world for info so you never need to go to a library. You can order anything you need from anywhere in the world without ever leaving your house. You can drive a car while on the phone so you never need to go see your friends. It has turned people in hermit crabs with no social interaction.

    Today in the modern world we see that online dating is not the perfect type of dating there is. People also freely express themselves on the Internet not having of any fear of ever being found or acused of something bad they did on the Internet. If you ask me it really depends on who you are. If your a person that really likes to talk to people then relationships on the Internet may not be very bad, but there are always stalkers and they try to find out who you are. To tell you the truth I think it ruined alot of human relationships.
