Modern technology - the culprit destroying family happiness

(Baonghean.vn) - Nowadays, with the remarkable development of science, digital technology has been born and has dramatically changed all aspects of life. The Internet and smart devices have gradually become familiar and indispensable in daily life.

However, digital devices that have infiltrated every family have changed lifestyles and living habits, or more seriously, can have a negative impact on relationships between family members and the future of children.

Spend less time with family

Modern families often lack cohesion and one of the reasons is that life is dominated by technological devices.

Instead of chatting together, family members entertain themselves with different technological devices. Illustration photo

A fairly familiar situation in many families today is that after dinner, each family member entertains themselves with devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops. There is no conversation between parents and children, even between couples. This means less communication, members will gradually understand each other less, and can lead to unnecessary conflicts. Their responsibility for the common work of the family is neglected, misunderstanding leads to suspicion, discord, quarrels...

In addition, many young people abuse electronic devices and phones with many forms of entertainment such as social networks, playing games, listening to music, which takes up more personal time and less time for family. Each member is immersed in their own space, to connect with the world but no longer connect with each other, causing family happiness to decline significantly. At a more serious level, it makes feelings gradually cold, dry, people lonely in their own home, can completely destroy family happiness.

The members' physical and mental health were disturbed.

Technology abuse also affects the physical, mental, lifestyle and living habits of family members. The time spent using these devices has taken up all the time for playing with friends, exercising, socializing, visiting relatives...

This has led to a decline in both physical and mental health, as well as an impact on their social relationships outside the home. These devices also cause family members to stay up late and sleep later. Sometimes, they stay up all night just to play games, watch movies or communicate with friends via social networks.

Living habits are therefore gradually changed, and sleeping less makes the body tired, reduces concentration, seriously affecting health as well as work and study. In addition, light from digital devices, in the long term, can also impair eyesight when users use them in the dark.

Mistakes in parenting

Very few parents learn to sing or dance with their children, but often just turn on music and videos for their children to listen to and learn from, and become less and less close to their children. Many parents also use software to manage and monitor their children instead of directly teaching and talking to them. Children therefore do not get to talk and share with their parents much, leading to a lack of family affection and care.

Older children are also in a similar situation. The lack of parental supervision has left them free to explore everything on the internet, which contains a lot of harmful information. Thus, children are very susceptible to being damaged or developing a distorted thinking and perception, affecting their future.

Limits children's comprehensive development

Children's vision, motor senses, imagination, and creativity are in their early stages, and are not free to develop normally from the beginning, but are confined to what appears on the screen. Those things can only be stimulated, trained, and developed in the colorful, vibrant real world, not in the virtual world.

They can learn a lot in the real world through all their senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, touching, and even tasting. In the virtual world, everything is limited to images and sounds emitted from devices. If children are dependent on technology from too early, they will not learn the basics, such as how to use their body, thinking, senses, how to integrate into the surrounding world, with nature and people...

At a young age, when the brain is not yet developed, children will easily get confused and confuse the real world with the virtual world. They will still grow up, but they will become a technology child, not a normal child.

Being too absorbed in technology also limits children's communication and other social skills. They are only immersed in devices without interacting or communicating with anyone through language or gestures, and do not play with friends of the same age. This increases the risk of children developing autism, because less talking and communicating will lead to a tendency to live in isolation, not opening up to people and the world around them.
