Is your family ignoring each other?

A new report suggests that families are spending less time interacting and technology may be to blame.

The study by  the Annenberg Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern California  polled 2,030 people ages 12 and up, found that

“28 percent of Americans it interviewed last year said they have been spending less time with members of their households. That’s nearly triple the 11 percent who said that in 2006.”

The study didn’t blame Internet social networking sites but the change has coincided with the rise of sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Of course, I know families who feel better connected because of technology and many parents who find texting with their children a great way to stay in touch with their day-to-day life.

What do you think? Has technology made your family spend less time together or more?
