We find ourselves right smack dab in the middle of a digital revolution.  From The Walkman to the iPod. From Console TV's to LED Flatscreens.  From the Altair 8800 (Google It) to the iPad, technology has forever changed our way of life.  I sit back, with a bitter grin, thinking about of all the times that I had to haul my butt over to the library to research class projects.  While my son complains about having to type in a few key stokes to complete his homework assignments, because it's taking time from his XBox360 Kinect!?!  At this rapid pace of change, I can only imagine the tech filled lives that my grandchildren will someday enjoy.

Texts, Tweets, Gchats, Facebook Pokes... We now  have endless ways to use technology to stay in touch with lovers and vet prospective dates. But is this very same technology bringing us closer or making us that much more distracted?

Hey, in this high-tech age, who's not guilty of playing with your favorite gadget almost as much as you play with your partner? To discern just how couples are handling the invasion of gizmos and gadgets in their bedroom, Men's Fitness conducted a poll of more than 1,200 Men and Women, asking them about sex in the digital age.

• 58% of Men surveyed think they'll score with a woman quicker if they can stay constantly connected. Almost 80% of Women agree that technology creates intimacy faster, but of those 80% surveyed, only 38% are sleeping with Men sooner.
• 35% of Women surveyed feel that being continually hooked up to the world makes the time they spend with the man in their life less intimate.
• 9 in 10 Men admit to dry spells and going without sex for at least a week in the last year.
• 6 in 10 can go that long without checking their Facebook page
• 43% of Women have been broken up with via a text, but only 27% of Men have received the digital brush off.
• Texting is the #1 Mode in which lovers use to stay in touch today. Men use it 39% more often than calling, while Women use it 150 % as often.
• 7 in 10 Women admit to checking out their Man's ex on Facebook. (Brothas, are you still 'friends' with your ex? There's a 39% shot it'll P.O. your current girl.)
• Sexy texting is still the rage. 70% of Women have "sexted" with their lover. More than two-thirds admit to sending their lucky man scandalous photos.
• 63% of Men hop Online and do some recon before taking a woman out. 70% of Women report doing the exact same.
• 31% of Women are OK with being asked out via a text. However, 65% would prefer you picked up the phone and call.
• Women are more likely than Men to snoop. Of the Women we polled, 49% have checked their lover's computer history, and 76% go through the Inbox if it's "accidentally" left open.
• 66% of Women consider sex room chatting to be cheating!
• 39% of Women would rather give up Sex for a year than part with their cell phones.

If you find yourself on the wrong side of the spectrum, in One or More of the above groupingss, then it may be time for You to Unplug for a while.  Let's quickly get back to being up close and personable with Our significant others!!
