With the development of the internet, the world has progressed in a number of ways. Communication can occur in a matter of seconds, and just about all of the information one needs to function in life can be found online. Questions are asked, key words are typed, answers are provided, and problems are solved! But what about the one thing we all struggle to attain in our desperate pursuit of the utmost human connection? Love: such an elusive and complex concept seems a bit lofty for our hunks of metal to handle, but evidence has shown that computers can be a means to its attainment.

Type the word “dating” into your Google toolbar, and a million ads for online dating websites will appear. But do these things really work? I’ve heard many an amusing story from friends who have tried sites like these, but never a story about finding true love. These sites aren’t the only places where potential love-interests can be found, however. The boom in social networking has built a multitude of communities in which people can be scoped out, their interests scanned, pictures analyzed, and personalities assessed.

A poke or a wall post can be the starting point of a meaningful relationship online. What remains to be seen is what happens once two people are no longer separated by a computer screen. And with all of the warnings and criminal scares, who is brave enough to meet face-to-face with a complete stranger they met online? It takes a lot of nerve and confidence (or desperation?) to go through with something like that.

But if you Google it, you’re sure to find many tales of love found online, whether it was on Second Life, Party Poker, or good ol’ MySpace. I guess true love really can be found online if you’re looking for it.
