I'm curious to watch dating and flirting evolve in a world of entire generations knowing nothing but Instagram, TikTok, Tinder and Snapchat, not to mention a year-long pandemic and the rise of school/work-from-home, shopping moving online, libraries moving online and so on.
We have already seen online dating lead to over 50% of couple formations as of today, I can only imagine that those numbers will get larger with each year. Will stumbling upon someone for the first time in real life soon be a remnant of the past?
I agree with the commenters that there's no way to suppress the human drive to mate, but what mating looks like in the next couple of decades is anybody's guess. Sounds like a great time to be alive for anthropologists.
