emergency announcements by flight attendants. they point out one incident when a tablet nearly hit someone when a plane went through turbulence. being single can be tough, but there is an app for that. actually, there are many apps to make dating easier. do they help or hurt? we talked to one matchmaker who says it's time to step away from technology. >> match.com, e-harmony, there is one called hinge. >> reporter: amy anderson knows singles. she is ceo behind linxdating, that caters to the men and women of silicon valley. by the time they make it to her office, they tried it all. even the cruel world of hot or not on tinder. a technology amy says is getting in the way. >> they've been basing matches often or superficial metrics of hot versus not. >> reporter: she gets why people

only really a few decent matches from the online dating community. they are lacking this deep, i would say soulful connection. somebody on their level who is going to understand them and get them. >> reporter: research shows loneliness is bad for our health. something hollywood caught on to. the new movie "men, women and children" follow not just teenagers whose relationships seem to only live online and parents whose loneliness leads them to their phones and laptops. i asked adam how dating in the valley has been for him? >> there are plenty of fish in the sea, but when you have technology that show yes, there are all these people, when it happens, it happens. if it doesn't, it doesn't. i'm not structuring my life with expectation. i used to. it would be nice. i have a wonderful life i would like to share with somebody. >> peggy bunker reporting.

imagine if your boss told you you could break the law behind the wheel and if you got taught, they would pay the ticket. our investigative unit found that is what is happening with ride service companies like uber and lift. it comes a few weeks after san francisco district attorney threatened legal action against those companies. >> now we captured drivers on hidden camera telling us uber and lift told them they could still do business at local airports, something against the law if they get busted, the companies may pay the ticket. stand curbside and you'll see them. ride service drivers dropping off passengers at san francisco international airplane. >> are you uber? >> can i get a ride? >> drivers we spoke to say uber and lift told them it's okay to break the law. >> who tells that you?

>> uber. >> uber tells you it's okay to drop off? >> reporter: at san jose international airport, we found more drivers doing business without the proper airport permits. >> if you chill around the airports, lyft drivers. >> can't be here too long. >> the place are pretty hard. >> reporter: if caught by airport police and issued a citation for trespassing. >> uber pays it. >> i've gotten tickets $250 a pop. >> yeah, a lot of times they'll help you out. >> they shouldn't be operating at the airport. >> reporter: this woman from the california public utilities commission says state regulations prevent ride service drivers like uber and lyft doing business. >> what we are focused on is

safety. and also to let the airports create rules. >> those driving for ride share companies are not permitted to pick up customers at san jose airports. >> reporter: they are illegally operating. >> that is why we are citing them to motivate them to become permitted here. >> reporter: unlike limos and taxis, they don't have to wait in the folding area or pay airport fees when they enter the airport that. money pays for airport operations. >> i spent 25 years in law enforcement. >> reporter: former police detective robert gardner is a security advisor who worked with airports to improve safety. permits serves an important role. >> prescreening has been done. frees up security people to do more important security work. >> reporter: the investigative unit discovered since may around 1,000 warnings and citations have been issued to ride service
