I got news that could be not too good news for families. Recent study says that internet make families spend less time than before.
A new study by the Annenberg Center for the Digital Future has drawn a comparison between the decline in family time and the rise in Internet use and the popularity of social networks.The study said the Internet is so engrossing, it demands much more attention than other technologies. The Internet can disrupt personal boundaries in ways other technologies wouldn’t have.
The study said 28 percent of Americans interviewed last year report spending less time with members of their households. That’s nearly three times the 11 percent who said that in 2006. And while the study doesn’t place the blame on the Internet, it does note that the decline in family time does coincide with a rise in Internet use and the popularity of social networks.
