Does Technology Change How we Fall in Love?

BBC World Service - CrowdScience, Does Technology Change How we Fall in Love?

Are computer algorithms the best way to help people make permanent romantic connections?

How does technology affect how we fall in love? Crowdscience travels to India to answer listener Erin’s questions about the impact of the internet on our search for soulmates. We meet the traditional matchmaker who says her service provides security in an era of digital fraud. And ask whether computer algorithms are the best way to help people make permanent romantic connections?
