I’d like a link to some properly structured, well-documented research, as opposed to a survey done by a publicity-seeking restaurant-chain, that shows that the use of mobile phones ‘damages family life’.
We used to eat our evening meal in silence so that Dad could listen to the Six O’clock News on the Home Service.
Was that damaging family life? It made me aware of current affairs at an early age.
Later we got a telly and that was said to ‘damage family life’ too.
I get tired of technology and inanimate objects being blamed for human misery.
It’s like ‘killer roads’.
No, the roads don’t kill. It’s the people who don’t use them properly who kill.
Use your smartphone properly, and it won’t damage your family life.
