Are you one of those parents who is always on his/her iPhone or Blackberry? Does it seem to bother your family or are they ok with it? Do you ever wonder if today's generation of children will grow up without the necessary social skills because parents have been too engaged in technology to communicate or perhaps because tweens and teens can't tear themselves away from their cell phones? I recently read a study about the influence of technology on families and it finds that the digital age is affecting more than how we communicate in America. The study found that parents are spending almost the same amount of time per day as their kids consuming media and using various digital technologies. Parents are as just as dependent on technology as are teens and tweens. According to this study, most family members feel that technology has been a positive influence on their families and they welcome it with open arms rather than with suspicion. The study went on to say that very few adults or youth take substantial breaks from technology. What are your thoughts on this hot topic? |
