Does technology fundamentally change the nature of love? We’ll hear stories from three people about how technology has impacted their romantic life--for better and worse. First, Joanne, a student from China, who found a surprising new use for Tinder while vacationing on a Portuguese island. Next, Ida, a student from Denmark shares how video calling technology helped her maintain a long distance relationship between Denmark and Australia for 8 years. Finally, Sian, a student from the UK, shares her stories about how she’s given and received heartbreak on Google Docs, a seemingly harmless collaboration product.
