Technology Impacting Parent-Child relationships!

     In this article it talks mainly about how cell phones and computers can actually affect the relationship between parents and their children. It shows how parents get stressed out with their children when don't respond because they are playing on their phone/laptop. Technology takes out the face to face relationship with children, because they would rather just text or call their parents when they need to ask something.  Also, it turns out that when kids are the ones to initiate phone calls, both parent and child report having a close relationship and higher levels of self-esteem. However, when the parent initiates the call and uses the phone to monitor their child's whereabouts, the relationship was more likely to be strained. Overall, in this article it shows how technology changes relationships and how it can actually make the relationship worse. (Little fun fact): Nearly 40% of people use technology while eating dinner with family or friends!  

I chose this article because I wanted to see how technology really changes relationships. I always knew that it impacted the bond you could have with someone but I didn't realize it got to this point. I was always told that relationships are better if you can talk in person. Technology really changes everything about relationships because its just over a screen and its as if you have no emotions. You can't really tell what someone is thinking over the phone, you can only tell in person. So, it is important to make sure your relationship is more than just conversations on a screen!

    My dad has always been complaining about how people would rather text on phones and how they have no social skills now and I kind of agree. But me and my parents don't really have a problem that phones cause but I can see how other families can struggle with that.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future?

We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
