Today's Connected Dating vs. Dating of the past

dantheman06
A topic to discuss how dating is nowadays with everyone on various forms of communication: mainly cell phones/social media and fashion/trends of today in comparison to old school dating like when the internet was not commercially/publically a thing and a look at the values/trends of the past also. I have a personal grasp of it already on my own but will let others comment and also lemme see what they think. Edit: looks like i couldn't hold back, but nobody's talkin anyways. Sooo, one instance is every1 has a Camera essentially with a smartphone whereas we had to take time and care for a camera/filmroll back in the past. Moments shared today are at the tap of the touch screen anytime anywhere. If you break up with someone, you're likely to delete pictures being together and do things on facebook etc. etc. If you broke up in the past, you'd have that physical photo print on your desk...and probably learned to cherish that memory for what is, even if your not together anymore. The act of actually ripping up/burning the photo will also make you second guess actually getting rid of it. Another aspect is that we can take a bajillion photos of each other and 9/10 of them will be forced and "not to your standard." While in the past you only had a few shots with your roll and would make sure that each camera shot was worth, made each moment a lil more genuine. And social media: can just upload it for everyone to see. That 1 copy you printed out in the past was a cherished moment for both of you only and was more personal.
