The Future of Relationships

Posted on Feb 08, 2010 - 11:38 AM

My favorite commercial during yesterday’s Super Bowl was Google’s (which I have posted below). The reason I liked it is because it is a powerful reminder that technology doesn’t just light our future, it can also fundamentally change how—and with whom—we interact in personal relationships.

For a little historical perspective, consider this: Before the invention of the automobile your future spouse/partner was likely to come from within a 5-mile radius of where you lived; after the automobile was popularized the radius increased to roughly 100 miles. The invention of the airplane further increased the average distance; and the Internet, as Google’s commercial demonstrates, is, yet again, extending the distance.
