Technology has both positive and negative impacts on family relationships. It enables improved communication through tools like social media and video chatting, helping families stay connected over long distances. However, it can also lead to isolation as family members spend more time engaged with technology than with each other. Studies show kids and teens now prefer communicating through devices rather than in person. While technology maintains connections, it has made real conversations and quality time less personal. Younger generations in particular view family time as a chore rather than something enjoyable. More research is still needed on technology's direct effects on family bonding and emotional well-being.

Negative Effects of Overusing Technology
Technology has become an essential part of people’s lives, and most individuals, especially the young generation, cannot live without it. It has many uses such as social networking, searching for information, entertainment, job searching, and conducting e-commerce. Nowadays, it is rare to find people without cell phones, computers, email, and social networking accounts such as Facebook and Twitter. A survey conducted by the Jed Foundation revealed that approximately 90% of college students utilize technology to keep in touch with their friends and family through social networking (Simpson). Moreover, uses such as conducting research work and entertainment have become popular over time. Nevertheless, it is important to ensure that people do not rely too much on technological devices. Despite its significant integration into people’s lives, the overuse of technology can have some adverse effects on individuals and the societyFirst, overusing technology hinders the development of cognitive processes. According to Hatch (19), it affects development of the brain especially among children and adolescents and can cause CPA (Continuous Partial Attention) condition. Information overload induces this condition in the brain and affects its ability to process ideas and create various meanings. Currently, technology entails constant streaming of information into people’s lives through the use of computers, mobile phones, and millions of functional digital applications. From a majority perspective, these applications make life easier by reducing the time it takes to conduct business, keep in touch, and perform necessary tasks. However, they are the primary source of distractions from essential tasks. Studies show that social media and entertainment are the main sources of work disruptions thanks to people always checking their online updates. As a result, they cannot focus or conduct their job efficiently due to paying only partial attention.
Similarly, constant use of technology affects the way the brain absorbs new information and can lead to divided attention when performing different tasks. Studies indicate that distractions caused by social media and entertainment cause people to shift their attention to several different things, never at any one time focusing on completion of a single task (Hatch 20). Many technology users believe that they are capable of skills such as multitasking because they own a variety of tech devices that help them to accomplish different tasks. Nevertheless, studies show that whereas such people can split their priorities among many tasks, they eventually become unable to focus due to continuous bursts of new information. The result is that multitaskers develop problems in shutting out irrelevant information and experience higher stress levels in their brains. Likewise, people who heavily rely on technology become accustomed ...

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. Why it is Important?
It is important to understand how and why technology is able to do both bring
families together and drive them apart
What is it about technology that makes it so influential on our family
relationships?
The first relationships we develop as people are with our families and now those
relationships are being threatened by the increased use and availability of
technology.
In today’s day and age almost every one has technology at their disposal. This
can lead to families being together even when they’re apart or can lead to
families being apart even when they’re together.
3. Increased Number of Users
One reason technology has had such an impact on the way we interact with our
family is due to the substantial amount of increased users in today’s world
Approximately 95% of people from ages 6-19 now have access to internet.
The US. Census Bureau have been keeping track of the increased number of
internet and technology users
The overall world internet population has doubled in the last 5 years. From 1.15
billion to now 2.27 billion people.
58% of smartphone owners have admitted to not being able to go 1 hour
without checking their phones.
4. Improved Communication
Technology has been able to and helped families better communicate with
each other.
It connects long-lost relatives and enables them to reconnect
Communication has become a quicker act and a message can be sent and received
at the same time
It can now be synchronous(instant messaging) occurring instantaneously
Rather than occurring asynchronous(sending a letter)
Family communication has become more efficient through technology.
They are able to communicate through Facebook and other SNS
5. No Geographical Boundaries
It seems that in our society today that people are becoming more mobile than
before
People are moving more often now than they used to because of job opportunities and
some of these jobs require you to frequently travel or move to conduct business
The frequent travelling of family members used to cause a loss of
communication due to the long distance relationship.
Long distance relationships occur when communication is restricted because of
geographic parameters and the people involved in the relationship expect a continued
close connection.
With new technology people are able to communicate with their families as if
they weren’t separated by hundreds of miles.
6. No Geographical Boundaries
Cell phones allow families to call or text each other sending and receiving them
instantaneously
Skype is a way for people to video call one another so it is like you are talking face-
to-face as if you were actually in the same room as the person you were
conversing with
It is easy to lose contact with people after they
move but technology has helped us stay
connected with those we are close with no
matter the distance
7. Creates isolation
Although technology is good for helping us stay connected and communicating
with people it has its disadvantages as well.
Technology causes us to isolate ourselves
Through the use of computers and smart phones we block ourselves out from the real
world and get stuck in the virtual one.
Kids are starting to spend more and more time on the Internet and less with
their families and friends.
It is estimated that kids from the ages of 8-18 spend somewhere from 50-70 hours on
technology a week. That would be over 7 hours a day.
With the inventions of smartphones and websites like Twitter and Facebook kids
are becoming more and more isolated from their families.
8. Isolation
Rather than going out with their family teens are now more inclined to want to
stay inside and play video games or be on their computer.
In a recent study teens have been found to interact
or communicate with their friends and family more
on their phones than face-to-face
54% of teens reported that they’d rather communicate
through text or their phones than have a face-to-face
conversation.
This leads to teens not actually interacting or communicating
with their families and therefore isolating themselves from the family
9. Relationships Suffer
Technology has done great things for the world of communication, but one negative thing
it has done is make conversations and relationships more impersonal.
Relationships and conversations with your family should always be personal its your
family, but now with technologies people are treating those relationships as if they were
just another friendship; sending one work text messages to each other.
Although computers and technology seem to come second nature to teens most of it is
still rarely new and parents aren’t sure how to deal with technology in our lives
This puts strain on relationships because parents try to connect with their kids, but they aren’t sure
how to do it in this new technological age.
It also does not help that teens become impatient with their parents when they don’t know how to
use technology and start up on websites like Facebook where teens felt free from there parents.
10. Relationships Suffer
Some research has shown that parents are trying to take action against the
technology their children use
Through means of limiting the amount of time they were allowed to use it and
also by screening what their kids were doing online.
This seems to lead to more disconnect from parents to children because the
kids start to feel like they have no freedom in the real and virtual world
which leads to more fights and isolation from the family
Another study has shown that more and more parents are relying on
technology in order to raise their kids than in the past
Kids are being brought up and raised by television and computers.
11. Now vs. Then
The dynamics of family relationships have changed substantially from the past
before technology and how it is today.
Before technology families used to spend much more time together talking to
each other and enjoying a nice family dinner
Today it seems as though families don’t have enough time for each other
whether they are busy at work or too busy preoccupying themselves with
technology
Even when families do find “family time” for each other most of the time they are
physically together, but emotionally and mentally they are not.
Most teens have portable technologies at their disposal at any time in the day and even
parents have those technologies now too so most family time is a group of people
getting together so they can ignore each other for technology
12. Now vs. Then
Before technology became prevalent in society families would like to eat
together and spend time with one another.
Sundays were days in the week that the family stayed in and spent the day
together. Now if you ask parents or children what Sundays mean to them,
most say it is just another day or the day before they have to get back to
work.
13. Now vs. Then
Kids were surveyed and it was revealed that the majority of them felt that
family time was like some sort of chore
Some teens also feel like they are being punished when they are forced to spend
time with their family.
Some parents have become so concerned with how their family interactions
have fallen off they have taken to the internet to look up how a normal
family functions.
14. What’s Been Studied
As technology has become more and more popular in our society more
research and studies have been done on it
Studies have been done on how technology helps long distance
relationships
How it affects relationships in general
The impacts that technology has had on our society
15. What Has Yet To be Studied
There is still a lot in the area of technology that has yet to be studied
There has yet to be direct studies that show a relationship between family
time and technology.
There have also not been studies that show the emotional toll that the
affects of technology have on people
