Has technology played a role in the dissolution of the traditional family...
Just have a moment here...Think about the woman's role in the household. Not long ago, it took hours for the laundry to be done or for the food to be cooked.
Think about the man's role in the family. It took real muscles to work in the mines and in the forest and to protect the family.
Now think about how technology has effected those traditional roles.

I use it to FaceTime with my son, who is now living in Washington. He gives me tours of the home he is living in...and, the hospital he is now working at....Mount Rainier is visible from the parking lot of the hospital...
I also FaceTime with my great-granddaughter...I have not met her in person..but, I have watched her grow and she always smiles at me...She is a very happy baby.
The rest of my family I see or talk to almost every day.
The permanent husband is no longer a necessity, that person has, in many cases, been replaced with a live in 'Blonde' replaceable partner with no permanent contract. Women no longer need the hassle of trying to 'encourage' a husband to help out with house chores.
Some may still opt for this old fashioned lifestyle for a generation or two but it's already a thing of the past.
Welcome to the 21st century.
I do not understand why we have traditional roles for men or women...we are so much more complicated than that...technology has its place but we still need one another...
Please post a funny political meme as and example.
Hellooo there Loulou
Nice to see both of you pretty ladies again. Cool!

That is an interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing it.
That is how I see it too. There was a need for a traditional family before all this technology. They were a team to tackle the hardships of living...now those hardships have decreased.
That is true...technology can make a family more dynamic...like you mention, as far as communication is involved.
Thanks.
I do agree with you....however, I think the same can be said about man as well.
They were needed back in the day. Today, they are not needed...technology can have the clothes washing while somebody is on the way to the grocery store to buy food, instead of out in the woods hunting it.
I heard the Rockefellers played a role....are they part of the cia?
That is the feeble nature of old age...and having a loving partner there for each other in the home.
Second, loneliness...online communications and physical touch are not the same.
