The Future of Dating

I'll explore what it means to ''date" in the future -- taking into account the current landscape / social norms and where it's all going. Focusing on the implications of emerging technology like Pranav Mistry's 'Sixth Sense' device, augmented reality, and of course the rise of social networking and the continued rise of our urban populations. I'll talk about the future of ''hollering" and what will happen to "stalkers/creepers" as well as long distance relationships. Spoiler alert: dating is going to become a lot easier... and a lot harder.
