This article seemed so interesting to me because of how it approached the topic it was going to deal with. The author, Dr. John Suler, asks us whether or not "real" relationships are more acceptable and suitable than relationships that exist over the internet. He examines how human senses play a role in a relationship and questions whether they need to exist to maintain a "cyber" relationship. At first even I thought the idea of a relationship over the internet was ridiculous, but then I really started to think about it. What if a couple who has a stable relationship have to consider options for their careers? If one member of the relationship has to move overseas, a cyber relationship may become an option. I thought it was very thought-provoking when Suler says that you can although you can hear and see the person you wish to talk to via video chat, cyber relationships "fall short" when it comes to physical contact. Yet so many relationships like this exist and are fully maintained in happiness. I wouldn't mind having an iPod, iTouch, iPad, but the thought of having an iGirl does not seem very desirable to me.
