The Internet Is My Partner!

Rather than looking for their perfect match, one in four Americans say the Internet can serve as a substitute for a significant other, according to a poll released on Wednesday.

A survey on the role the Internet plays in people's lives by Zogby International and communications consultancy, 463 Communications, found that 24 percent of Americans said the Internet could replace a partner for some period of time.

The percentage was highest among singles of whom 31 percent said the Internet could be a substitute -- with no difference among males and females.

Considering everything that the internet provides, this is not surprising.

Want sex? Not a problem, never has been a problem. The web can provide whatever anyone desires.

Want food? Not a problem. Shop at your leisure and await delivery.

The only thing I can think of at this moment that the internet cannot provide is progeny. That still requires two people, each providing a bit of RNA.

My life is certainly improved by having the internet. I can't say that for some of the partners that have come and gone. And, they would likely make the same statement.

I'm sure someone at Google is working on that right now. :)

I was just approved for the new Google PPMSense™ program!

I'm working up my first campaign and expect to be bidding KenKey™ Words beginning tomorrow.

While the PPMSense™ Agreement precludes me from being more specific, I can say that the Sandbox has been completely redesigned.

Rumors that Google Checkout will become a virtual dating bar are still unconfirmed.

Cool. There's hope for me after all then.

iamlost, that's excellent. That's the sort of wit that keeps me coming back to this forum.
