Whether we want to admit it or not, technology is changing every single part of our lives in the 21st century.
One particular area that's been impacted by this is our relationships. Online dating, considered to be an ugly term a long at first, has now been redeemed with the creation of apps like OKCupid, Tinder, and Grindr.
Sparks and Honey, in collaboration with the Museum of Sex, have made an excellent deck explaining this evolution and where it could go in the future.
Let's start with apps. Programs like Lulu and Tinder have leveled out the playing field.
The Future Of Relationships

Single people can still like weird things too. A phenomenon called Braingasms induces pleasure when people listen to soothing melodies. Unfortunately.....
