hyperdating
Q
During
the
late
90's,
when
the
Web
became
widely available
especially
to
young
adults,
growth
in
the
commodification
of
romance
was
swift
,
rising
exponentially alongside
the
increase
in
single
people
.
By
2003
one
in
five
was
using
some
kind
of
online
dating
service
.
Statistics
suggest
that
by
2005
more
than
50 per cent
of
single
people
will
meet
online somebody
who
eventually
will
become
more
than
a
short
-term
partner
.
Indeed,
internet
dating
has
taken
off
to
such
an
extent
that
it
is
now
sometimes
referred
to
not
as
" cyberdating "
but
as
" hyperdating. " Reportedly
some
people
set
up
10
online dates
every
week
,
sometimes
several
a
night
.
This
is
a
revolution
. Indeed
it
never
really
happened
when
the
telephone
or
fax
came
on
the
scene
.
