Forget the chocolates, flowers and jewelry. This Valentine’s Day, February 14, perhaps the best gift you can give the love of your life is your undivided attention. Sadly, for many of us, that is easier said than done. An international study of more than 13,000 adults found that many people say modern technology has affected relations with their partner. Almost 40 percent of those questioned said their partner paid more attention to their mobile device than to them. Intel Security Group, a private company, paid for the study. It examined how romantic relationships are affected by a person's use of social media and the Internet. The research included both old and new relationships. Thirty-three percent of those asked reported that they had to compete against a mobile device for attention on a first date. Apparently, we have as much love for our digital devices as for the people we love.
