  2. The advent of technologies plays an important role in relational maintenance among individuals on a long-distance relationship and/or geographic distance relationship. These technologies like IM can be used to maintain a sense of intimacy and connectedness, even when the two people are miles apart.

    Seeing someone’s face over video chat is great if you are filled with longing, yet not so great if you’re annoyed that the person haven’t been responding to your texts fast enough.
