Family and the Development of Today Technological Age
The examples of life above can be similar to what we experience everyday. Undeniably, daily routines—especially those related to office matters—make us dependent on gadgets. Under certain conditions, responsibilities to children sometimes become suboptimal, or even neglected. For example, on the sidelines of feeding a child, we still glance at the cellphone. As a result, the time that should have been used to strengthen the bond was ultimately not achieved.
Of course we can't just blame today's technological advances. In fact, the technological capabilities adopted by mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, computers, televisions, and so on have indeed helped in almost every line of our lives. However, we also must not turn a blind eye to the negative effects that arise from the existence of gadgets.
Because of technology, life is like moving, from the real world to the virtual world. This of course has the potential to damage interactions with other family members even though they are in the same room at the same time. It should be remembered, communication in cyberspace is different from face-to-face communication. Caring for family ties Before the relationship in the family becomes more distant, it is better for us to anticipate the impact of using gadgets. This does not mean having to completely eliminate technology in our lives. But take advantage of the portion and within reasonable limits.
Not a few in one family where each member spends more time with their gadgets. Then, how can we enjoy togetherness if we don't chat with each other in one room? After coming home from work or school, without further ado we go straight to the room, either to rest or to 'drown' in cyberspace. Over time, we will feel stranger in our own home.
Before the relationship in the family becomes more distant, it is better for us to anticipate the impact of using gadgets. This does not mean that we have to 'eliminate' technology completely in our lives. But take advantage of the portion and within reasonable limits. Be determined to 'touch' the gadget only at certain times or there are urgent matters. Ask all family members not to bring cell phones or tablets when eating together and gathering in the family room. Turning off all notifications on your smartphone will help you concentrate on other more important things.
For practical reasons, we rely on mobile phones to add insight. In fact, reading information from mobile phones is vulnerable to interference from various applications. On the other hand, if you read print media and books, knowledge transfer becomes more effective while minimizing addiction to cell phones.
There are many things you can do with your family. You can take the kids to the kitchen to cook or prepare a meal together, help the kids with their homework, and tidy up the room. On holidays, invite your children to wash the car together, take care of the garden, clean the house, exercise together, and go on vacation. Make sure, all activities carried out are free from the hubbub of gadgets.
