Story:
Too much of IT may end your love affair
Shinji Miyadai, a sociologist specializing in youth issues, believes that such high-tech conundrums are due to the fluid and ambiguous nature of relationships among young people today. It's a situation, he says, that can lead to extreme meddling in one's partner's life.
"Normally what results from this behavior is an anxiety over one's privacy, namely the right to conceal what one wants to conceal and one's right to control information about oneself. In Japanese society, that's an idea which, for the most part, hasn't taken hold," Miyadai says.
