Free Post #2 : Technology and the Family


Here is an interesting video I found about family and the use of technology.  For some reason I found this video "Technology and the Family," to be hilarious,  due to the fact that a lot of families do tend to operate this way whether we realize it or not. Even my own family sometimes won't even engage in conversation over dinner because everyone is doing their own thing.  Although we all may be at the dinner table together, or even at a restaurant, technology seems to have our up most attention even if not intended.  Just like in the video, someone is either texting, listening to an ipod, talking on the phone, or on the Internet.  Sometimes the TV even becomes irrelevant and is just there for background noise while everyone tunes into their own choice of technology.  It's just amazing how you can be in a room full of people, sitting right next to one another and no one is talking, everyone is too busy focusing on the technology before them.
