Another issue comes as children in the family start getting older and moving onto the next stages in their life; things like college, raising their own families, getting their own homes and the list keeps going. As families are going through their different life stages, it can be really difficult to keep in touch and maintain that close family relationship that they once had when they lived all together in one home.
As technology has started advancing, it has made many ways to solve these ever so common problems. I will discuss positive ways technology can be incorporated into family life such as staying in touch, sending pictures through the internet, and solving scheduling dilemmas. Though this positive affect goes on and on, I also believe that technology has also added extra things for family to stress about, a topic in which I will explore more in my research.
I chose this topic because the one thing I know I could talk endlessly about is my crazy family and all of the funny stories we have. Interestingly enough, because of technology, I have even more great stories to tell. My major here at Maryland is Family Science, and I intend on declaring two minors, Leadership Studies and Communications. Family Science and Communication definitely interest me and will create a great basis for this blog.
I’d really like to explore more ways that technology can help family as wel
l as ways that it can cause more problems in.I’m also really interested in seeing how technology has changed the family in essence, or possibly even ways that technology has had hardly any affect on family. All in all, this should be a blog that will not only benefit me, but benefit those who are interested in how they could possibly solve various stressful family situations with the newest technology.
