my question is how is technology bringing children closer...​

Answer 1

It's a common view that digital technology is ruining family life. Family members have become 'glued' to their mobile devices, separating them from each other and disrupting normal modes of communication.

However, a new Parenting for a Digital Future report from LSE argues for the opposite effect. It claims that digital activities such as watching films, playing games and keeping in touch via calls and messaging apps can bring families closer together. By streaming TV content and using educational technology together, families are adapting their habits to reflect an increasingly digital environment.

The report also finds that the communication styles associated with digital media tend to accompany more traditional methods of interacting with each other rather than displacing them.
