Encontros online[1] services are platforms that facilitate romantic or sexual connections between individuals over the internet[2]. These services vary widely in their approaches and target demographics. Some, like Adam4Adam, cater specifically to men, offering features such as free messaging and STD-notifications. Others, like Adult FriendFinder and AnastasiaDate, are more general, connecting members based on their profiles and focusing primarily on heterosexual connections. There are also services like Ashley Madison and Badoo[3], which cater to different user needs, such as married individuals seeking extramarital affairs or individuals looking for casual chat or dating. Some services require payment for certain features, while others offer free registration with some premium features. These platforms have grown in popularity over the years, with millions of registered users worldwide. However, not all are successful, as evidenced by the list of defunct dating websites. Overall, online dating services have revolutionized how individuals meet and interact romantically.

It's a service, sometimes free and other times paid, that caters to different demographics and kinds of relationships. Users create profiles, which include personal details, photographs, and videos, to engage with other people. These services often provide matchmaking options, profile building assistance, and various communication tools. The online dating scene is continually changing, influenced by new trends and technological advancements. It's worth noting that matching algorithms in these services are only slightly more effective than random matching. Ultimately, the impact and challenges of online dating, as well as its role in fostering long-term relationships, continue to be subjects of ongoing debate.
2. internet. A Internet é um sistema global de redes informáticas interligadas que utilizam protocolos de comunicação normalizados, principalmente o TCP/IP, para ligar dispositivos em todo o mundo. Com origem no termo "internetted" utilizado em 1849, o termo "Internet" foi mais tarde utilizado pelo Departamento de Guerra dos EUA em 1945. O seu desenvolvimento começou com cientistas informáticos que criaram sistemas de partilha de tempo na década de 1960 e progrediu com a criação da ARPANET em 1969. A Internet é autónoma, sem uma autoridade central, e os seus principais espaços de nomes são administrados pela Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Transformou significativamente os meios de comunicação tradicionais e tem crescido exponencialmente ao longo dos anos, com os utilizadores da Internet a aumentarem anualmente de 20% para 50%. Em 2019, mais de metade da população mundial utilizou a Internet. O conjunto de protocolos da Internet, que inclui o TCP/IP e quatro camadas conceptuais, orienta os pacotes da Internet para os seus destinos. Serviços essenciais como o correio eletrónico e a telefonia via Internet funcionam na Internet. A World Wide Web, uma coleção global de documentos interligados, é uma componente essencial da Internet.
