Romancing the Mouse - The Washington Post examines a new study on online behavior. (Brought to you by RoperASW, the same folks who discovered that 72% of Americans think the government is holding back evidence of UFO's.) The biggest news according to the Post is all the Internet sex - ahem, dating - that's going on. They make it sound like it's the in way to hook up, especially for the younger crowd, since 74% of 18- to 24-year-old computer users know someone who has started a friendship or romantic relationship online. Sounds awful to me -- give me the good ole smoke-filled bars and steamy bathhouses any day.
