Socialization

The idea of online dating is one that I really do not get nor think that I ever will. As humans we are social beings, who have to interact with other everyday and in almost in every situation. The ability for people to meet other online and interact online has taken away socialization for some people, allowing them to stop interacting with actually people and start interacting with virtual people. This has created a huge group of people who, now because of online dating, cannot interact or socialize with others. These people are usually referred to as being awkward and sometimes they become even more awkward without needing to socialize to meet/date others. Before online dating these awkward people were forced to interact with others, allowing them to become more socialized and less awkward. Online dating in my opinion is taking an essential part of being human away, socialization. Without this essential skill, you might be able to work on computers by yourself in your room all day, but you would not being able to work with others on project. Really you would not be able to work with others on anything. The internet is a great reasource but in my opinion it should not be used for online dating.
