I read an article called "Quality Time, Redefined."  It was about technology and how families may be in the same room together, but with everyone on a laptop, iPad, iPod, or watching TV, they aren't really together.  It also stated that "nearly 60 percent of American families with children own two or more computers, and more than 60 percent of those have either a wired or wireless network to connect to the Internet, according to studies by the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project. A third of all Americans log on from home multiple times a day, nearly twice the number that did so in 2004."  That is a really huge difference.  Family time is spent more with technology than with each other.  Some people have to e-mail their spouses in order to talk to them because everyone is so involved with their technology.  I think this is a little frightening and sad.  The new technology today can be useful as long as we don't let it take over our life.  I believe that families need to be less "wired."
