Technology: Reducing Time and Space


In our world today, many families choose to live apart from one another because of work. An estimated of 3.6 million married Americans were living apart from their spouses. Fortunately, technology has made life easier for these families to keep in touch. There are websites like Skype that allow one another to see eachother through computer. For example, husband and father Miles Harvey lives far away from his family in Chicago He moved to New Orleans by himself because of work, but he has found many ways to communicate with his loved ones. He video chats with his wife and two kids everyday and talks to them about his day. The picture above shos Harvey reading a book to his kids on the video chat. Harvey reduces the negative effects by interacting with his family online and spending time with them. Technology these days has made life easier for these families who are in these situations like the Harvey's.
