One-Third of Adults Used Technology to Break Up

Christina, Ng. (2011, November 14). One-Third of Adults Used Technology to Break Up. [Web log post].Retrieved from http://www.abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2011/11/one-third-of-adults- used-techonology-to-break-up/html.


According to author Ng,“A survey shows more than on-third of adults have broken off a relationship via Facebook, email, or text message."

While the relationship is going good, especially in the beginning, all 
the Facebook posts are, all good. However, when the relationship turns bad, teenagers and adults are using Facebook and other technology to end the relationship. This survey pointed out that the technology is also used for starting new relationships, and investigating that person before the actual first date. A relationship isn’t valid until they are “Facebook official” wrote Ng (2011).  Technology and social media have taken dating to another level, and is central in initiating relationships. If you meet on Facebook or through other technology then I guess this could be appropriate. Surprisingly 42 percent polled would first contact someone in person for the first date, but the other 68 percent use other forms of technology. After reading the article I find nothing will be personal anymore thanks to social media.
