~~love in the time of no time~~
i personally do not prefer internet dating, it's just not my style; just like i did internet shopping, I got a dress from a famous website; however, that dress was totally a disappointment. so it is kind of relavant to the online dating, very blind and unreal.
recently, a guy, his name is Ismail, hooked me up on internet, he found me on facebook and added me on facebook. Ismail said he is a soldier in Turkey. it was a great talk with him, but it is hard for me to believe somebody on Internet. Internet, the day it was born, is determined as no resiponsibility to any comments or behaviors. it is just a utopia for those who needs flirts and sparkles but not able to get in real life. the author mentioned sex and diappearing after a while of chatting. that is excatly what happening on the internet.
so i never have an optimistic attitude towards internet dating, neither would i like to try it.
~~alone together~~
i liked Alone Together a lot, it describles how we people are so lonely nowadays, when we need some help,it always turns out we are the only one who can help ourselves. The author of Alone Together pulled out a lot examples from movies or quotes from famous writers, for instant, "Mark Twain called it (Manhattan)'a splendid desert'." After i read JunHyung's comments; i stared thinking, is being alone a good way of relaxing after one tired day? we definately need private space to do certain personal things,like reading a best-selling book, or watching cartoon, or hiding a skeleton in his or her closet.
remember the old times when a whole big family living together, no one has privacy, and all those rules from adults choked us; but now we are free, so what are we crying over? enjoy now, enjoy life!

Excellent Comments on "Alone Together" (Leslie)
I like your comments on "Alone Together", especially the point you mentioned that the author used a lot of examples and quotes to make his opinions more convincing.
And about private space and privacy, I agree with you, too. Sometimes we do enjy the moment of being alone and it brings us deeper thoughts and more insights.
As for online dating, your opinion shows that you are a girl with rationality and objectivity, which is the attitude people should hold toward both real life dating and online dating.
Very impressive.
