Opinions are divided on whether the communication of family members is reduced compared with the old days or not. This essay analyzes both sides of opinions and presents my own idea about this.
On the one hand, some people argue that the relationship between family members is not close as before by lack of communication. Nowadays, most family members are busy every single day. More specifically, there are numerous families in which both father and mother work together for a living. Because a bunch of works is piled in the workplace, many late works happen in their office. Students are also busy getting better academic achievements. Therefore, children take after-school lessons until at late at night. For these reasons, there is no time together in daily life for families. Take an example, I had an experience that I only saw sleeping children throughout a month because of meet up project schedule in the company. On the other hand, others say that the conversation between family is increased nowadays. Thanks to technological advances, people could contact other people anytime anywhere. Furthermore, the communication style, face-to-face chat, has moved to various types such as sharing multimedia form. For instance, I called my parents once a week before I got a smartphone however but after I got a smartphone I usually call my parents daily everyday to say hello. Even if in a social distancing situation, I never feel about the loss of connection with my family. In conclusion, I agree that we are living in busy days however the family communication and relationship are improved than old days even though we are living in busy days. We can make a call easily and share vivid videos with each other more conveniently. The brand-new technologies in conversation help to aware make families family bonds better closer than before.
