How Technology Is Changing the Way We Love: A WIRED Investigation
from What's New · host SpokenLayer
Let’s just get it out of the way: my wife and I met each other online. This was more than 15 years ago, when “online” meant either chatrooms or some sort of personals-based website. (It was the latter.) We had the internet, but not in our pockets; texting and emoji had yet to worm their way into the mainstream, so we learned each other’s rhythms before read receipts and the tyranny of the three dots. There was no pin-dropping, no swiping, no Instagram archaeology. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
