Hitchhiking on Tinder, breakups on Google Docs, and other love stories

Does technology fundamentally change the nature of love? We’ll hear stories from three people about how technology has impacted their romantic life--for better and worse. First, Joanne, a student from China, who found a surprising new use for Tinder while vacationing on a Portuguese island. Next, Ida, a student from Denmark shares how video calling technology helped her maintain a long distance relationship between Denmark and Australia for 8 years. Finally, Sian, a student from the UK, shares her stories about how she’s given and received heartbreak on Google Docs, a seemingly harmless collaboration product.
