Today I saw this man and woman in a cafe, reading their iPad and Kindle respectively. I imagined this entire gloriously romantic scenario wherein they realized that they were reading the same book... something intellectual and obscure. They'd suddenly realize that they were an incredibly rare match made in heaven and they'd run off an get married at an observatory or something.

However, I realized that their iPad and Kindle would eliminate any possibility for such social interaction. 

And I suddenly understood why eHarmony is so valuable.
