By repeatedly motivating the reader to take “advantage of the myriad possibilities brought to [consumers] by the world wide web,” Hassler emphasizes the augmented number of options developed by dating sites but fails to mention the depths of these benefits (Hassler). More specifically, these opportunities especially appeal to those with busy schedules or those in careers, such as teaching, where they do not meet many available potential partners. Because of the convenience of dating apps, they can arrange dates to fit their schedule and with people they have already familiarized

People use technology like the smart phone apps in order to interact and communicate with friends and families. The You and Me Application among others, is a popular mobile dating app used by people who are potentially seeking partners or friends. Others object that this kind of communication refrains and hinders strong face-to-face communication. The many authors and researchers share their views that technology will be a barrier to real life communication because technology users are less likely to be engaged and interact face-to-face with current or possible partner. In the essay “I Had a Nice Time With You Tonight On the App.”, Jenna Wortham contends that smart phone dating apps allows people to meet and communicate, and is also effective in maintaining healthy relationship. In order to entertain and convince her readers, Wortham begins by sharing a personal story about her experiences with communication apps in order to lower her readers so they don’t get thrown off with her credible resource, and

The generation of today enjoys their lives largely revolving around technology. You can go to school online, buy all of your groceries from your home, and make video conference calls around the world. Naturally, in order to meet these desires, the world of online dating has flourished. Millions of people are signing up for a variety of websites that guarantee happiness for all different types of people.

Online dating has become a popular new mechanism for seeking a romantic partner and initiating intimate relationships.

Online dating allows singles, couples, or groups to meet each other online with the hopes of forming a social, romantic, or sexual relationship. Those that sign up with an online dating service typically provide information for other members to view in the form of a personal profile. This personal profile is the main deciding factor as to whether or not an online dater chooses to communication with another member of the online dating service. Online dating, a relatively new form of social matchmaking, has both positive and negative aspects to it. Just as any sort of social interaction can have pros and cons.

Online dating is perhaps the fastest growing industry in this day and age. In 2016, over 50 million people in the United States had signed up for online dating sites, which bring in an annual revenue of around 2 billion.

On the App.”, believes she has found the next best thing. She talks about an online dating site called HowAboutWe, and she mentions that the site lost many customers once its users were in a relationship. The founders soon created a new app called You & Me to help new couples from HowAboutWe, as well as other couples, continue to communicate and produce joyous relationships. You & Me is aimed towards couples, like Wortham and her long distance boyfriend, that are longing to grow their relationship through the screen of a mobile phone and beyond (823-827). Wortham’s compelling use of pathos is overshadowed by illogical illustrations of her positive view of technology and one-sided examples of ethos.

Technology these days is continuing to grow into people’s lives exponentially- something that Jenna Wortham talks about in the article, "I Had a Nice Time with You Tonight. On the App" published in The New York Times. She offers a new point of view to the dating-app world as she describes life in a relationship separated by thousands of miles.

In our society today a person can often look around a room of people and see nothing but the top of their heads, along with their eyes staring down at lit up screen filled with tremendous possibilities.
