Cyber-Cheating Gets Worse
In a recent article at silive.com, the author recounts the results of an online experiment in fidelity, in which an ad was posted on craig's list for a single woman looking to meet a married man.
The emails began pouring in less than a minute after the ad was posted -- 250 total, for just one city.
Clearly internet infidelity, or cyber-cheating, is becoming an even greater problem.
This is especially saddening when we keep in mind that today, 1/3 of divorces are linked to online affairs and cyber-cheating of various kinds.
Part of it is convenience: if you work all day at a computer, you're spending more time in front of the screen than with your spouse.
Another part of it is related to perceptions of what constitutes an "affair." Many spouses don't think of cyber-cheating as real cheating, even though the first usually leads to the second.
Here is another reason why internet-tracking software, like Awareness Tech's WebWatcher, is so popular today. It's invisible, easy to install, easy to use, and records every chat, email, and website.
After all, to catch a cyber-cheater, you'd need a cyber-detective.
