The Hindu Business Line : Can't... or won't talk?

Hmmm. You've been sitting in front of the computer for about six hours now. Your father has walked by thrice about a message from a friend; your loved one has been waiting to discuss your son's performance in the term examinations; your son wants to get back to his serious gaming; and you have just shooed them all away.

Wondering whether you are turning anti-social even while chatting with your friend halfway around the world? You are not alone. The new information and communication technologies that caused the death of distance now threaten social interaction and skills.

So imagine a world where your son can talk to a hundred girls over the Internet and through phone-texting — advising them, teasing them, and perhaps even flirting with them — and making friends with many of them, but he can't share his feelings with that interesting girl living in the same block of flats. He will need technology to share his feelings with someone he interacts with every day.

And there is something in the UK now for people like that: www.yourmycrush.com. The site helps one find out if one's crush is requited or not in a very smooth and simple way. See http://www.prweb.com/releases/uk/mobile/prweb419926.htm for details on how the service works.

Simple service, but a pity that someone should need it!
