Finding your soul mate may have just gotten a lot easier, even easier than your typical dating sites such as eHarmony, Match.com, etc. The New York Times article “Cellphone Apps Give ‘Speed Dating’ a New Meaning” explains a new type of dating service that is available right from the palm of your hand. Cellphone apps have now begun to connect people with smartphone location technology, a simple user profile, and a few exchanged messages between two interested people.
“They say the services allow them to skip the more elaborate mating rituals of standard online dating, which seems to move glacially in an era of text messaging and social networking.” This, to me, is the most striking part of the article. Because we are in an age where we are able to communicate instantly person-to-person people are finding online dating sites too slow for their liking. There seems to be this huge rush among singles who are overly ready to mingle and I think that this article accurately represents this great rush and how technology is only putting it into a fast forward drive.
