Dating the Internet…
I read an article the other day that was based on a survey by Zogby International, it found that 24% of Americans said the Internet could replace a partner for a period of time. The percentage was highest among singles of whom 31% said the Internet could be a substitute - with no difference between males and females. The research was based on 9,743 adults and conducted between October 4th and 8th.
This would be a whole new light on the free online dating subject where the Internet itself could act as your new love! Why bother trying to meet someone online, whether it be free or not if you can just date the Internet or a website for a while. What type of website could pose as your new, temporary concubine? I guess that depends on what you really like in a mate, and having something as vast as the web with which to find this person, you may end up having a longer relationship than you planned - and hopefully it won’t cost you more than you can afford. From what I’ve “read” and “heard”, some of these ’sites of love’ can put some pretty big charges on your credit card!
The article closes with an interesting tid-bit as well: “Only 11% of respondents said they would be willing to safely implant a device in their head that would let them use their mind to access the Internet although one in five would insert a chip into a child 13 years and younger to help track them.”
Accessing the Internet with our mind… What a communicative society we would be.
