Technology has become the newest foundation of family values. According to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, families that use technology tend to have better communication. Where once they gathered ’round the old Westinghouse to listen to one of FDR’s fireside chats, families now bond over YouTube videos. Kids no longer have the excuse that they weren’t anywhere near a phone if they come home past curfew. That was one of my favorites, actually.
