The 90's were a transformative decade for internet and technology. As more of us plugged our modem, new opportunities for communication and connection to individuals from across the world became possible. One of the most notable developments of my time was cyber dating.
Imagine typing and typing and typing just to woo a potential mate you had zero chance of meeting. Sending pictures was a task. First you had to take a photo. Take the 35mm film to get processed and printed, which would take a few days. Then scan the photo onto the computer. You were lucky if you had a scanner because those things cost a lot. Then you had to hope you had enough memory bites left on your AOL or Prodigy account to send the file by electronic email.
Yes. Cyber dating was a bitch.
