The family may be addicted to technology by using their cellphones to communicate is still communicating in a way, but it would be better to use social face- to - face interactions.
a family using technology to communicate is not the same as engaging in an actual conversation
Explanation:
in an actual conversation/communication outside of technology, the family will be able to socially interact with each other on another meaningful level versus saying everything through the cellphone. it also makes it more meaningful if a family chats without using a cellphone and helps make the relationship between the family members and their communication-better.
