Impacts of Communication Technology On Family Relationship and Interaction Study in Uttar Kannada District
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Family Relationship and Interaction
Abstract
Introduction: This study explores how communication technology influences family relationships in the Uttar Kannada district. It talks about how digital devices and social media have become a major part of daily life, helping families stay connected even when they are far away. At the same time, it also shows that these technologies can take away time from face-to-face interactions and may cause feelings of loneliness or isolation. Objective of study: The main purpose of this study is to understand the different ways communication technology is changing how families interact in Uttar Kannada, while considering both the positive and negative impacts. Research methodology: The study collects information using convenience sampling and combines both numbers and personal stories to get a complete view. Data Analysis: The results show that most people prefer face-to-face conversations over using text messages or social media platforms like Facebook. Participants also mentioned that new technologies can create issues between couples and between parents and children, especially when people spend too much time online. Parents found it difficult to control what their children do on the internet and noted that kids are often exposed to bad behavior online. Recommendation: The study suggests that parents should find ways to manage their children's use of social media, set clear limits on the websites they can visit, and monitor their online activities without telling them beforehand. Conclusion: The study aims to show both the good and bad effects of communication technology on family life in Uttar Kannada.
