In the 25 years that dating sites have existed, the sites have become quite sophisticated and their popularity is certainly on the rise. Just a few years prior, the first computer, and then the first remote control for your television were invented which changed the world forever. The impact was felt at home, and even simple things such as the way people gathered and ate around the TV began to update with the evolution of satellite access. On-line dating was no different. Dating sites were the first social forums to exist. Some of the first on-line dating sites include matchmaker.com (1986), which later became Date.com, and Match.com (1993) founded by Gary Kremen. The courtship process had officially been revolutionized.
