Here is an interesting article that talks about how we tend to spend more time with our personal computer than we do with our "significant other." The article then takes the issue a step further by claiming that we spend more time on our "relationship" with our computer than we do with our significant other. Of course, this is a bit of equivocation--equating a relationship with a computer with a relationship with another human being. The two are obviously two distinct types of "relationships" (after all, you haven't heard of anyone marrying their computer, right?). But definitely some people do have a relationship with their computer that approaches a "relationship" in the human sense, so there is some validity to this argument in the article, and certainly many "significant others" feel the loss of companionship due to the constant beckon that their loved ones hear from a computer, especially a networked computer. Many of us are constantly wired in to the matrix, even when we are with our significant other.
