The Impact of Internet Technologies on the Formation of Romantic Relationships

Introduction

This study extends previous research into the impact of Internet technologies on romantic relationship development. Since the early 1990s, the rapid advancement of technology has had significant sociological impacts on the way that individuals initiate and develop relationships with one another. Social and economic trends are also having an impact on the way that people use online technologies and their reasons for doing so. In this project, I explore how online technologies have impacted relationship formation and maintenance for both men and women.
