Technology today is more relied upon than ever before. If one needs to call someone half way around the world, simply take out a cell phone and dial their number. Within thirty seconds, one can be speaking to that person just as if two people were conversing face-to-face.

Nowadays technology plays a huge role in society, but what is that role? A question that rises is whether it affects the American families in a positive or negative way.

Technology has revolutionized communication and the world like nothing before. The Internet has given the world a freedom never explored in the past.
