How does technology affect family life?

Technology has affected every part of family life.


The time spent on the computer, watching T.V, etc, is about 8 hours a day. This
time is usually spent alone and not with the rest of family.
With all technology we have nowadays we dont need to get out of the house
anymore. Almost everything revolves around technology now.
What do most people do when they come back from school? They usually go watch
TV, go on the computer or something else like that.
What would they do if there was a power out and they couldnt watch TV or go on
the computer? Most people would just laze about doing nothing until the power
came back.
But technology has not only disadvantages, it helps with the house hold chores,
with the most varied electronic products, for example, the microwave, without
it, we take too much time to warm simple foods, such as milk and soup.
When we travel away from all of our friends, technology like mobile phones and
internet, we can maintain contact with them, and even today, when we travel, we
turn to automobile technology, for example.
These were only a few things influenced by technology. It is almost impossible
to say all the positive effects of technology on society.

Brazilians and Technology

Watching a VHS? Recording your favorite song on a tape? Thats history! The words of modern
life are online, delete, spam, chat and many other such examples. Welcome to the future,
where technology is in control.

A study from IBGE (the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) showed that Brazilians
are using digital technology a lot more now. Everybody has a cell phone nowadays.
Computers, the internet and MP3s are now part of Brazilians everyday life.
According to IBOPE (the Brazilian Institute of Public Opinion and Statistics) 40 million people
use the internet to help them at school or at work. And the vast majority are students and
teachers.
We can find everything on the net and its easy. Books are important, but I cant buy books,
a student says.
Another university student mentions that you can do your banking, buy products online,
download your favorite movies with just a click, chat online and meet new people.
The study also showed this: in August 2008 the number of cell phones increased by 24.8% in
relation to August 2007, and 80% of these cell phones were pay-as-you-go. And thats not all.
Many people have two or three different cell phone chips. Brazilians are also more interested
in PDAs, iPhones and iPods.
The virtual world is also changing the profile of Brazilians. More and more people prefer
staying online to having a real relationship. A highly respected Brazilian newspaper has
stated that Brazil is the country where internet users stay online the longest. However, all this
new technology requires training. Lots of people run into all sorts of difficulties when trying to
use it. A number of people cannot actually use software adequately or even understand how
networks function, for instance. There is certainly an urgent need for more digital inclusion
programs in this country.
