Chapter 6 – Love and Relationships Online<\/h1>\n\n\n

Technology has permeated every aspect of our lives, even to the core of our love lives. We expand our dating options and meet people we wouldn\u2019t otherwise know, ask each other on dates, investigate in depth the lives of our potential mates, profess our love, reassure each other of our affection, say hurtful and healing things in the heat of an argument, and even end our relationships. We use technology to both support and undermine our relationships, but there are few areas left untouched. This chapter will outline how we use technology in each of these areas, and help us understand the impact of computer-mediated communication (CMC) on a topic close to our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
