If I were a child and my parents are having dinner but at the same time, instead of dining judiciously and engaging in family tete-a-tete, are busy answering or talking to other people over their celfones, I would feel very rebellious.
A sociologist said that our society is creating a cyberfamily. You see families around a table, each one having a gadget -- a tablet, an I Pad, a celfone, etc. I told her, a cyberfamily is an aberration, nothing to celebrate about. It is the beginning of the destruction of communication in the family.
Worse yet, when husband and wife are together and one is into reading texts or talking to a caller on the celfone, using up all the minutes for eating.
If we want a healthy society, the DSWD should come up with short ads on TV and radio cautioning people to respect the hours they devote to intimate partners and to the family.
