Until not too many decades ago families used to have dinner together, exchange news, talk to each other, tell what had happened during the day. Throughout the evening, they were communicating “the whole time”. A few decades later, with the advent of television, families were still having dinner together. They exchanged news and talked, before moving into the living room to watch TV together. The length of direct communication had significantly decreased, but they were still spending time with each other. Nowadays most families don’t have dinner together, each member watches TV in their own rooms or uses other "private" technological means of communication. People in the same family hardly see each other, spend time or talk to each other. This is one of the results of the so called “progress”.
