Lutz's+Journal+1

I chose the journal on "Love, Internet Style" because it is such a big thing in our society today. Many people are starting to use the internet to find true love instead of lets say a bar. There are tons of commercials for dating sites and match sites; so this journal really lets you stop and think about the topic and how its affecting people's lives. I thought it was very interesting so I decided to include it.

"Love, Internet Style"

The article written by David Brooks explains the advantages of online dating in comparison to face to face meetings. This statement that lets the reader know what he is going to talk about is: The Internet slows things down. You then know that the writing will go into talking about how the internet is a better way to find love. He informs the reader about the changes in society and how sex is so common so early in a relationship. In the article he is obviously for online dating. He lists examples of how online dating makes things more effective than regular dating. Here are a few: there is no sex to worry about; it puts structure back into courtship; allows each person to progress at their own pace. The writer then goes into detail on how the online dating process works and how it has a better success of lasting longer than meeting face to face. He says that online dating allows the two individuals to progress over a long period of time through emails and phone calls, which allows them to get to know each other better and then hopefully they finally meet.
