What does that statement really mean?
Let me answer your question.
Love was at its finest much before the 21st century. Love, relationships and happiness was a key/priority factor in many lives. It was the main focus because there was nothing that popped up, attracted you or distracted your valuable attention from your Loved ones until people started getting creative with inventions. (Hense the reason many families had thirteen or more children.)
For example before the year 1906 watching the television wasn't centre of everyone's attention, sitting at a computer wasn't the 'it' thing before the 1960's, talking on a high class mobile phone wasn't desired prior to 1973, playing Pong on a game console wasn't the greatest pass time before 1975, tapping away on the internet/ world wide web wasn't engrossing people internationally before the late 1980's and finally sending text messages and emails was not everyone's addiction earlier than 1985.
Now that all these methods of communication, technology and electrical appliances have taken a firm place in the life of the majority of human beings on Earth today, Love is not the same.
People don't have sentimental pillow talk late at night/ early morning, don't make regular check ups throughout the day, don't hear each others voice, see each others face and smile away from a computer screen or exchange loving words without involving buttons. In the good old days Love was solid, not diluted or terribly distorted with technology.
Texting, tweeting, iming, emailing, video calling and such things have taken over peoples Love life, created a rift between two people that should be close and instead built a relationship on the basis of using technology. Late nights are spent texting, days are spent skyping and Love is no longer presented personally, boldly and artistically.
Some people may like the idea of having a technical Love life, others may need it if long distance is keeping them apart and technology is all they have to communicate but if that's not what you want, tell your Loved ones that you would prefer to spend lunch times, dinners or late nights together. Encourage the Loving communication you desire, do it yourself as an example and hope they follow. Create good experiences with each other outside of technology and let them sense that you're happy with the change. Tone of voice, choice of words, smile, hug, body language and facial expressions create bonds, understanding and develop relationships.
Take a break from technical Love and watch real Love grow.
Love always
