Communication: TXT for Closeness?
Today parents are more hands on than our predecessors, and maybe not all surprisingly kids are closer to their parents than ever. Today’s parents spend a lot more time with their kids, with the internet, cell phones, and a bunch of other gizmos that allow mom and dad to take their work with them.
This can lead to mom and dad, while still working can still be there in some cases. The internet can allow mom and dad to work from home completely. While working from home comes with it’s own limitations and issues, mom and dad’s presence can still have an impact.
Even for the parents who don’t work out of home offices, Blackberries and cellphones can still allow much more communication with family than just a decade or so ago.
Even with all the complaints about gadgets pushing people further apart and making email and text messaging the communication du jour, overlooking for a moment the impersonal method, it allows instant connections to those you love. The methods also allow more communication, especially due to the impersonal ability to not have to look someone in the eye, you can get them to open up more.
