Excerpt
The increased presence of technology in the daily life of modern children has caused the relationship between parents and their children to be affected. Khan, an educator, did a study on the relationship between the duration of adolescents’ (14 to 18 years old) technology usage on computer, mobile phone and video games and their relationship with their parents. This research was done in a New York high school on 63 students. These students represent a generation that has been exposed to technology the most throughout their lifetime. It was found that when they spent long time on computers, the closeness towards parents diminished. On the other hand, there was no correlation to be found between the usage of mobile and the closeness with parents as mobile phone is still a way for both parents and their children to communicate.
Similarly, another research also has shown that relationship between children and their family members is affected by the amount of time they spend on the Internet. Young ( a psychologist) investigated whether any decline and loss of desire for face-to-face communication with their use was related to Internet surfing. The age range (14 to 18 years old) of this study was controlled because there may be restrictions implied in their use of Internet by parents and also because that generation is being exposed much to technology since birth. Young’s research found that students use the Internet more often, which in turn causes them to spend less time with their family. Plus, the desire for face-to-face communication with family members declined when more time was spent on the Internet. Children who spend hours on the Internet will find that there is not much time left for any other types of interaction or bonding time with their family. Consequently, children and their parents as family members will have a poorer relationship instead of being able to maintain a stronger family relationship.
On top of that, Lee (a scholar) reported that the use of computer for recreational and communication purposes among 1,312 adolescents from the United States (age 12 to 18) replaced their time with their parents and Lee’s result had showed "an increase of 1 hour in computer-mediated communication results in a decrease of 24 minutes in time with parents". Lee’s finding shows a negative correlation between the time spent on computer and on parent-child relationship. However, one drawback that was found in Lee’s study was that she did not consider including the specific type of online activity and also the type of social networking sites.
Punamaki, Wallenius, Holtto, Nygard, and Rimpela’s research had shown similarities in their findings. Their research was conducted on 478 Finnish children and adolescents from seven schools. The result found that using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for entertainment is related to poor peer and parental relations. In addition, engaging in intensive Internet surfing however was found to associate with poor maternal relation which is seen most in daughter-mother communication. As there is only 24 hours in a day, the time used on the computer will reduce the time spent on other activities. Thus, the relationship between parents and children are affected by the usage of ICT causing both parents and children to have poor communication with one another, when communication is essential in building a strong parent-child relationship.

答案
Family Relationship and Technology Several studies (though possibly with a few exceptions) which were conducted in different areas have shown that technology affects the relationship between parents and their children. It seems that when the children spent long time on modern technologies like computers, the closeness to their parents diminish because children spend less time with their parents, showing that regular communication is fundamental in establishing a strong parent-child relationship. The effect of technology on parent-child relationship illustrates the facts that firstly, many students are nowadays spending or wasting a lot of time on surfing. It is true that a computer is connected with the academic success of a student for it offers them a unique platform to get access to the most up-to-date information. However, we should not undermine the fact that many students use their laptops chatting, playing computer games, watching soup operas all day long (or even by skipping classes). Secondly, the parent-child relationship depends much on communication. Smartphones and wifi nowadays make it convenient to realize the purpose of online chatting, watching videos, sending emails or using various apps. As a result, the family members are reluctant to talk to each other. The pro is that such technologies do help us communicate with our family members, but the con is that the real duration for communication is far less than we use them for visual and acoustic joy. The study and our common sense show that it is no exaggeration to say that technology drives us, generationally, apart. To protect us from such a disaster, both the parents and children should have the willpower to temporarily get away from the technological gadgets and transfer our attention to the face-to-face communication with our family members. Just as the American psychologist Joyce Brothers once said, " When you look at your life, the greatest happiness is family happiness. " Compared with family happiness, the joy from high-tech gadgets is never long-lasting.
