I am quietly laughing at an email from a friend this morning. It appears that the way his brother is announcing his engagement to his family is via chat on X-Box. I hope that he didn't make the proposal to his affianced in a similar method.
Our teenager also maintains her romances and friendships via IM and FB, and I am frequently informed of break-ups and make-ups and make-outs that are entirely electronically based.
In a way, this both intrigues me and saddens me, whatever happened to going to the florist to wire real flowers, and send real love letters via snail-mail? Is the lack of the tangible in relationships going to be the death knell of real romance?
