A simple word game used by millions across the world on their smart phones and ipods created a tale of two lovers, and eventually created an everlasting love between two random players. In 2009, a random game was created by two players living several thousand miles away from each other. Megan Lawless, a resident of Chicago, IL, began the randomized session and ended up being paired with Jasper Jasperse, a man living across the pond in the Netherlands. The two exchanged greetings, and what started out as a simple hello from one side to another turned into contact exchanges and an eventual meeting between the two. This random act of romance is one that touches the heart of technology addicts and also serves as a new twist to any typical love story that circulates the system.
Ben Silverman, author of the article, introduced us to a new tale of two loves, moving past the typical love stories constantly being portrayed by pop culture movies and novels. Silverman draws the reader's attention with the "Words with Friends" reference, a game that many students and even adults can closely relate to. By setting a frequently accessed background in reality, Silverman relates the love tale to readers who often grow weary of the same old love stories being portrayed over and over again, and provokes the reader with this new twist to a classic tale. This love story likely won't be the only one of its kind with this growing technology universe.
"'Words With Friends' spelles love and marriage"
