Introduction The interconnection between the lives of human beings and the internet is not only complex and intertwined but also a cause of concern today. With easy access to information, questions are being raised on the impact of this trend and whether the moral fabric of the society is under any threat. This paper addresses some of these issues with emphasis on online dating, politics and religious life. Acceptability of Online Dating With the growing use of social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, the society is coming to terms with certain phenomena that were earlier condemned and demonized (Worstall, 2011). Of particular interest is online dating which has captivated the mind of millions of people around the world, triggering debates, discussions and research in order to have a clear understanding of the fundamentals of online dating. The question of acceptability of online dating has for instance received a wide range of discrepancies with some people supporting the idea while others believe that it is unethical (Reuters, 2010). It is therefore true to say that almost every person has an opinion concerning online dating and whether young people should be allowed to find their soul mates through the internet. According to Casciato (2010), online dating has gained acceptance among young people with close to thirty percent of web users considering it as a viable source of their romantic friends. In his 2010 research, Casciato (2010) further noted that Pakistan and India recorded the highest number of people who would prefer using the internet as a channel for romantic introductions.

In my day to day life, these disparities do exist with people having varying stances on the use of the internet. Many still believe that there are other natural ways of meeting spouses and relating other than using the internet which may sound like a communication machine. Nevertheless, in this time and age where communication technology has overtaken almost every aspect of our lives, online dating cannot be absolutely ruled out. Internet and Politics As mentioned above, the internet plays a major role in almost every aspect of human life. In politics, technology has been used to a wider extent resulting into multiple reactions and effects. For instance, the 2008 American race to the White House welcomed significant application of the internet as a tool to encourage democracy and political participation (Nagourney, 2008). According to Nagourney (2008), the campaign redefined ways of reaching out to voters, mobilizing funds, selling ideas and manifesto and tracking of the public opinion among other issues. Through numerous blogs and websites, politicians and political parties reach out to citizens with an aim of influencing their voting decisions (Council on Foreign Relations, n.d.). The internet also allows voters to interact with politicians from different destinations around the world. It can also be argued that the internet is able to reach to people who may not necessarily rely on the main stream media like television and newspapers for news updates (Tabler, 2011). With over 70% of Americans having access to the internet, its role and place in the current political arena ca
