Blog Post 36

Should one use applications like Tinder? What’s the purpose of these applications? Why use them? As a college student, I learn about new, unique, eclectic things every day. Some people that I’ve met in college like to party, some like to stay inside all day and play video games, some like to pray daily, and some like to do a mixture of them all. These all are fairly normal things, but what I also see a lot in college is this new, hit application called Tinder. 
Essentially, this application is made for hookups. Similar to those popups that you get on your computer and close them out as soon as you can to not get a virus on your computer or so people do not think you’re a nymphomaniac, Tinder was made out of freudian influences to fulfill our lonely, primal, self-objectifying instincts. I don’t get why people can’t follow social norms and meet their partners naturally and build organic, platonic, then build off of that like it should be done. There could be many reasons for this issue. It could be technology’s impact on sex, or it could be just that we are lazy. Who knows?
