One High School Student's Opinion on Online Dating

I came upon this article posted on TDN.com "The Daily News Online, Serving the Lower Columbia" authored by a student at a local high school. This student who was featured as part of the online journal's "promote young writers" program aptly titled her article: "Technology, Dating A Good Mix?". Her opinions and views about online dating is rather cynical and grim. The reason this article caught my attention was because I have recently been wondering if majority of future marriages will be via the Internet. If this one Briana Tift represents a typical young adult, thenthe online dating industry needs to start focusing part of its resources into public relations. It's image in this potential future customer's mind is that online dating is unsafe and doesn't work. The number of paid and free membership on dating sites have been growing over the past few years - research suggest that online dating is definitely more popular then ever. So who are the new subscribers?
