Breaking Up Was Never This Easy
According to a recent survey by moneysupermarket.com, 15% of the 2,194 people questioned claimed to have been dumped by text or email, and about 1% would not mind using a social networking site to dump their partner.
Thankfully, a quarter of those in the most tech-savvy 18 to 24-year-old age group still prefer writing a letter, contrasted with the 4% who take the easy way out, and just stop all communications with their lovers.
One of the most high-profile victims of dumping by text was Kevin Federline, who is supposed to have received the message about Britney Spears filing for divorce while being filmed for a television show.
Sure technology is becoming an integral part of our lives, but what about the good old fashioned way of talking it through?
