Historically, connections were shaped by physical proximity and social circles such as the workplace, schools, religious institutions, social gatherings, and local communities.
Today, mobile technology and the internet play a central role in how people can create new interactions and develop meaningful connections.

Consumers preferences vary significantly, influenced in part by demographics, geography, cultural norms, religion, and intent (for example, seeking friendship, casual dating, or more serious relationships).

Today, the adoption of mobile technology and the internet has significantly expanded the ways in which people can create new interactions, and develop meaningful connections and relationships.
