As the focus of family has turned to the glow of the screen - children constantly texting their friends, parents working online around the clock - everyday life is undergoing a massive transformation. Easy availability to the Internet and social media has erased the boundaries that protect children from the unsavory aspects of adult life. Parents often feel they are losing a meaningful connection with their children. Children are feeling lonely and alienated. The digital world is here to stay, but what are families losing with technology's gain?

Eye opening for a parent that grew up in the 80s and 90s

This book was invaluable as a mother to four children ages 4-12 and a child therapist. The review of child development and the careful interweaving of how development can be impacted by technology was informative and changed the way I look at my technology use and the technology use of my children. This book should be required reading for parenting in our current technological age.
