Long Distance Relationships: Matchmaking and Surviving

Studies have shown that tech-savvy users who are applying technology to enhance their long distance relationship, last longer. That is to say, a long distance couple that use, say a video phone, stay together longer, than a couple who use just a telephone, or a couple who use a phone last longer than those who just send e-mail. Those who frequently send e-mail, last longer than those who just send occasional snail mail. The internet has allowed for more meaningful relationships between people seperated by thousands of miles or oceans apart. Technology has helped online dating and matchmaking services bridge the gap between people miles away, bringing cultures and people together in a meaningful way.
