The BBC reported that new communications technology helps people keep in touch with their families.
Institute of Legal Studies in 2252 Americans, the results of which indicate that families are the most frequent users of Internet and mobile phones. Families use new technology not only to respect but also for entertainment and as an example 51 percent of parents surf together with their children.
One of the authors of the report "Family Network" - Tracy Kennedy of the University of Toronto says that some analysts have new technology for thieves of time that families spend together, but it they allow construction of a new kind of family ties. Scientists now regularly follow the links in families that use new technologies. The differences between families with children and single adults, couples without children and people living in a house without a context that traditional families are technologically better equipped, in most cases have two or more computers. With the use of mobile phones supported more easily with parents, brothers, sisters and children interviewed as many as 42 percent of parents speak every day with their children on mobile phones. Overall, 53 percent of people surveyed say that using new technologies to improve the quality of their contacts with more distant relatives, but 47 percent had improved their relationship with those with whom they live. Family connections are not diminished, although the time spent together in front of the TV fell. This is offset by family activities to the computer. |
