Why our digital tools haven't actually rewritten the rules of love
In short: We have traded handwritten letters for instant messages, but the biological core of romance remains untouched. Anthropologist Helen Fisher explains why our modern speed might actually be creating a different kind of intimacy.
While technology has introduced new methods for courting and connecting, the fundamental principles governing human love have remained constant. Fisher argues that despite the rapid pace of digital interaction, these faster connections are paradoxically leading to slower, more intimate relationships.
The presentation explores the tension between our tech-driven world and our evolutionary biology. It features a discussion with love expert Esther Perel to examine how these ancient drives manifest in a modern, interconnected landscape.
