Suprise, Suprise... I really don't think this is some kind of revelation.
Survey: Family time eroding as Internet use soars by AP: Yahoo! Tech
This story probably just hit a nerve today since somebody called our family "lazy". I see this separation a lot at our house. The kids all have their computers and everybody just sits in front of them at night instead of being together, or outside doing stuff. I've made the effort to not fire mine up when I get home and that seems to work. But, that just means I get some of my stuff done and not necessarily spend more time with the kids.
I don't really think the internet and computers have really made us a better family, or anybody a better family for that matter. It seems everybody just has a place to hide instead of just dealing with stuff... and I don't mean mental stuff. Even stuff around the house just piles up sometimes and then you wonder why it didn't get done. Simple answer... I spent too much time updating facebook, or surfing. Stuff that really doesn't accomplish much of anything when you stop to think about it.
