What constitutes a normal romantic relationship in the digital age? The extreme scope of love-related relationships – purely sexual hookups, messy breakups, honeymoon-worthy romances, and the most domestic of relationships – blurs the boundaries in terms of defining what constitutes a "normal" relationship. Digital Mirror's forthcoming Love Life View will showcase the entire digital record of the user's love life with select people by analyzing the language in their electronic communications.

Here's your chance to fuel new product design - we're curious to learn your thoughts about the intersection of sex, love, romance and digital data. We invite you to take a brief anonymous survey to delve deeper into this controversial and entertaining topic. The results will not only be featured on the digitalmirrorsoftware.com website, but will also help us improve the design of this exciting new visualization!
