The Future of Relationships

As more and more people go online, apps like WhatsApp, Skype or Social Media like Facebook allow us not only to chat with our closest friends and family, but maintain real time relationships with people on the other side of the globe. That level of connection is unprecedented. But, are relationships the same, just with shiny new ways of talking? Does our constant connection to a screen, rather than real life, make us more alone than ever? Or is technology and innovation making everything just different enough that it could change the way we look at relationships forever? This episode explores how technology is changing and impacting our relationships.
