Drew Barrymore: Technology has killed romance

Drew Barrymore has said in an interview with Marie Claire that she thinks the internet has killed the mystery of romance.

The actress said that she doesn't like the way everything is done by text, and the fact that you can find out everything there is to know about someone from the internet.

She said, "The fact that I'm begging for a phone call is pathetic in this age of technology. Plans are made by text - I can't stand it."

Drew continued, "I just don't like this compulsive, instantaneous, over- information, lack-of-privacy, weirdo aspect of the world. If you meet someone, they already know everything. What about showing up on the date and saying, "What do you do for a living? Who are your friends?" Yes, you can avoid maybe a serial killer, but who f**king knows? I am a romantic and it scares me..."
