According to a study performed by NDS, the makers of DVR technology, DVRs within households actually save relationships. 79% of the users polled said the technology has improved their love lives. There are lots of reasons I find this interesting.
First, the study is done by the manufacturers of the product. While I have no doubt the study is genuine, it is somewhat suspicious that such a favorable report is produced by those who profit from it.
Second, the article does not state exactly how the DVRs help relationships. There could be several reasons, of course. DVRs in the home could lead to a lack of squabbling over the recording of favorite TV shows. Since you could watch the shows whenever you want, it could make for couple-bonding time in front of a Television with a DVR.
Most importantly, it could lead to a lack of actual conversation between the couple which means it’s less likely that something will be stated incorrectly by one party or skeletons will come flying out of the closet to ruin the relationship.
Ain’t technology grand?
