NORTHWEST
HERALD -- July 14 -- Young singles today are technologically savvy and
many times prefer typing a few consequence-free lines as opposed to
calling up a Crush. Kali, 16, said she used her cell phone to
text message her boyfriend five or six times a day to find out what he
was up to and to plan their dates. According to a Pew Internet and
American Life Project survey, 84% of internet users are between 18 and
29, and sending e-mail is the most popular online activity. Michael,
22, is not a big fan of e-mailing people he dates. "It comes across
colder in e-mail," he said. "There's no inflection in the text." FULL ARTICLE @ NORTHWEST HERALD

Mark Brooks:
Yes, email and IM are quick n easy. You can maintain
communication and stay up to date. But, you can't build a real
relationship without personal contact. We're going to be stuck in
the stone ages on that one for a while courtesy of a little thing
called...chemistry.

I perfectly agree that when it comes to dating, digital communication is a BIG NO. Aside from the fact that it displas a colder affection, digital communication could hinder true feelings for each other. I may sound so traditional, but then again, tradition has been proven in time. That is the reason why tradition still stays. It is better to communicate with a loved one personally, in order to know each other well. And unlike in digital communication, it's just words without feelings.
