Love under the rule of the web

The web in the title is the world wide web, and the existence of the www has not only changed how people live and how people act but most importantly, the culture of living beings are all changed.

One of the easiest example would be love/relationships and the likes of it. Look at the generations before the www, love started with face to face conversations and mutual understanding were done in depth before even starting a relationship. However, as the internet emerged into the current millennium things have changed drastically.

Due to the existence of the internet, love has become a toy, people falling over each other with millions of miles between them, age does not seems to be a matter anymore, deeper understandings were no longer needed to start a relationship and etc. But then, the best part is that people can rely on someone on the net for a moment without having to fear of what their society would think of them. For example, if you were to have a grudge towards your family or your boss, it will be hard to share it among friends but it is easier if you have an online lover to share it with.

Therefore, love on the web makes sense this way when people wants to be discreet but yet they need a place or someone to voice out what they think and basically a new identity.
