Ep. 15 - Digitized
On the Season Finale - Digitized, Max, Charlie, and Sommer discuss their latest encounters with online dating. Dating has evolved tremendously in recent years. From chatrooms to dating sites to now dating apps where you only have seconds to swipe left or right for your prospective love interest.
We say goodbye to one of our beloved cohosts, and we announce the new team coming on board for season two.
Guest: Brooklyn Steele returns as our guest to discuss his forays and frolics with online dating.
Dating Quiz: "Online Dating and Real Life: A Quiz" from CNN.
Dating Book/Article Review: "Why Online Dating Can Feel Like Such an Existential Nightmare” by Derek Thompson at The Atlantic.
Call to Action: Technology is changing the way we interact with each other in the realm of online dating, matchmaking, and hookups. Can we remember that behind each profile and before each swipe is a person attempting to connect with another on some level? Will we hide behind our mobile devices and continue to act out old behaviors that prevent us from meeting a great person or can we see the apps and dating sites simply as tools to try something new and get out of our convenience zone. The choice is yours.
