Helen Fisher: Technology hasn't changed love. Here's why

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In our tech-driven, interconnected world, we've developed new ways and rules to court each other, but the fundamental principles of love have stayed the same, says anthropologist Helen Fisher. Our faster connections, she suggests, are actually leading to slower, more intimate relationships.

I enjoyed watching this video because it changed my point of view on dating and technology and how they affect each other. She is right technology doesn't change who you choose to date but it does change how you find the person you are going to date. For example in today's world you can be sitting on your couch in pjs at 2 in the afternoon pick up your phone an start to talking to people on dating sites. Back in the day it wasn't like that if you wanted to find your person you had to physically get up and go out and do things it wasn't as easy as it is today.

Do people in college now think that that dating is easy or do they believe they would have fit in better back in the day when dating was different?

I really enjoyed watching this video as it was simple and educational. It was really informing and I learned a lot that I guess I already knew. I agree that technology doesn't change how love works, it only changes the speed, and the accessibility.

How has technology changed dating for you personally? What could you live with? Without?

I really enjoyed this video and it definitely made me think of things differently. I always felt like the reason our generation struggled more than previous generations at getting into serious relationships had everything to do with technology. Now I understand it more so slowed down our generation because of all the options we have available but it doesn't change or prevent people from actually pursuing others.

Do you think that technology has affected our generation in other ways that was not talked about? Do you disagree with parts of the video?

If you have any kind of dating profile or app, what is it you are specifically looking for when you set up your account? Relationship? Hook-ups? Friends with benefits?

# data[].attributes.body
Watching this video was very frustrating for me but it also had a lot of truth to it. Technology has changed dating over the years because it has made it so easy to meet someone new and create some kind of intimate relationship with them. It is very simple to meet new people because technology allows you to do it within seconds.

Would you rather date like the old times (1950s) or do you prefer today's online dating?

Personally I was interested in this Ted Talk. The only thing technology changed from dating back then is you can easily date people from other parts of the world. However, technology hasn't changed the term love. You still love who you love despite technology; some people like those who are similar to them, while others like those who are opposite of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally would love to hear other peoples perspectives on college and the hookup culture in general.

# data[].attributes.body
The Ted Talk was very interesting and I got to learn a lot from it. She was expressing that technology has changed over the years and therefore it was so easy to meet people. On the other hand, it doesn't represent "love". Technology doesn't change people from actually pursuing others.

Jada                                    Would it be different if there was no online dating in this generation?

After watching this video, I had many reactions.  First, I think that this was the best speaker that I witnessed in this class.  The speaker did a great job at developing her ethos because she gave statistics and data and talked about her background.  I liked the way the speaker talked about love from a scientific standpoint rather than from experience.  A lot of the speakers in this class talked about love from experience.  While talking about love from experience is beneficial, science is a much more stronger foundation.  It makes sense that single people in America do not get married because they are afraid of divorce.  It is fair to say that I am also afraid of divorce.
From what you learned about dating and relationships, technology has definitely changed. Technology made it more accessible to find love, but people do not use it for love. Technology rather satisfies peoples sexual desires by looking at naked pictures, sexting, and arranging random hookups.

How does one partake in a natural college hookup without the use of technology ie. tinder

I really enjoyed this video. I learned a bit more about love has changed a lot over the years. We can see how many people now are using dating apps to find a date. I don't think technology really change the aspect of love. If you find someone you really love on a dating app, then that is totally find.

Is it more easier using dating apps than going out and trying to talk to someone?

Is there benefit to online dating over traditionally meeting someone?

I really liked the Ted Talk. I think this was my favorite in this entire course. I think technology has not necessarily changed, "love," but it definitely has changed expectations on what love may be and relationships/hook ups/etc. What one person perceives as a loving gesture may vary for another and we have so many opportunities to do that online and with social media and instant communication. I think that's why, "boundaries," and, "standards," has become such a popular topic amongst college students and daters.

I think technology has changed the way we perceive interaction and relationship. I think it has increased our expectations. With so many distractions and ways of communicating, you would think it would be easier to satisfy your relationship. When in reality, I think all of these factors actually complicate it more.

I really liked the video because it was really informative and educational, and it really gave me a different perspective on many things. When watching the video, I definitely agreed with Helen when she emphasized on how much technology does not affect relationships. I assumed and always believed it was difficult for our generation to pursue any relationship because of technology. But after watch this ted talk I have gained the new perspective that it was because of the unlimited options that are available for us now, as we are able to build relationships and make connections with people from different parts of the world.

When it comes to the history of dating, specific aspects from dating/marriages that I believed has changed because of technology is our perspective on relationships. It has allowed us to be open minded when meetings people, as well as it has created and formulated a different and unique way to communicate with them as well. All in all, it has allowed us to build relationships with people more easily because of how accessible technology is today. But even so, it has not changed the aspect of love because at the end of the day love is love and that can never be changed.

How important are physical attributes to people, if a person meets all of their desired requirements except perhaps in their physical appearance? (In relation to building a dating profile for out ideal partner, and choosing a physical representation of an ideal partner)

I really enjoyed this video, especially due to how surprising I found it to be. I have  assumed a negative impact on technology in relation to dating for a while, as it seems harder to truly connect with people. There lacked an intimacy. However, as talked about in the video, the new tech can make it easier to meet and engage with new  people, who at the end of the day, are also harboring that primal urge for love. Even still, just as it has in every day life and activities, there has been developments in dating because of technology, it's just a matter of the the end result, of still being able and wanting to find and love someone that is unchanged.

Now that we are living through the pandemic, do people think dating online is more easier or harder?

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was very easy to follow and interesting. I think from now on there will always be a link between social media and love when it comes to teens and young adults. Dating apps make it a lot easier but just because it is easier does not mean it is always better

How do you think dating apps have changed dating in the current years?

# data[].attributes.body
do you think online dating prevents you from getting to know someone well than dating in person?

My initial reaction to this video was that I enjoyed what the speaker had to say from love to technology. There was a lot of information that I didn't know before. I do not think technology has changed any aspects of dating and marriage. Online dating is a good thing for people to do if they like it, why not.

# data[].attributes.body
Instantly, I agreed with Helen. I also never believed that technology changes the way love works. I always hear criticisms from older adults that technology has ruined love for the current generation. Also that technology keeps us from being able to form genuine and deep connections since we don’t talk face to face as much. This video did a great job explaining why technology if anything is good for relationships. From what we learned about the history of dating, technology just gives us more ways to make connections and talk to each other. Specifically for dating and marriage, technology allows us to reach out and meet people we wouldn't be able to.
