“It is not kids who have brought the widespread use of
technology into the home; it is us [the parents],” concludes a 2011
Barna Group study titled The Family and Technology Report.
Parents in the study used their cellphones even more regularly than
their kids did. They were also more apt to use a desktop computer and
equally apt to use a laptop or notebook.
Parents, we
are the ones who bring all these devices and technology into the lives
of our families—and then decry the resulting lack of relationship we
have with one another. It’s no wonder our kids consider us hypocrites.
