Modern Love - Instant Message, Instant Girlfriend

The New York Times style section recently held an essay contest asking college students to define love as they see it. The runner-up, a simultaneously amusing and troubling essay titled, "Instant Message, Instant Girlfriend," chronicles the author's escapades with love online.

Though I disagree with him, I think it's interesting that he comes up with this conclusion: "The Internet is not a separate place a person can go to from the real world. The Internet is the real world. Only faster."

It is faster...but is it real?
