1013 Words5 Pages

In her book Domestication Analysis and the Smartphone, Leslie Haden explores the concept of media domestication, with a particular focus on the role of smartphones in everyday life. According to Hatton (2020), domestication is the process by which people integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into their lives, making it a part of their daily routines. Hatton argues that this process meets the needs of family members in various aspects, such as communication, entertainment, and information sharing. Through her research, Hatton identified a number of factors that influence smartphone adoption, such as age, gender, and cultural background (Hatton,2020,p.19).

However, one limitation of the analysis is that it primarily focuses on smartphone use in the home and may not fully capture the ways in which other forms of media technology have been domesticated and integrated into household life.

Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become ubiquitous, with millions of users logging on every day to share updates, interact with friends and family, and consume content. Social media can help families stay connected to distant relatives and friends, and can even promote family gatherings or other activities. For example, my family and I may have seen a friend's travel post on the Internet that sparked an impromptu trip together. However, social media can also have adverse effects on family dynamics and relationships, such as increased stress, and the potential for cyberbullying or other negative interactions. Since most posts on social media are of the perfect side, meaning they are embellished and only show the good aspects of life, this can create anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions for others. For example, I may be under a lot of stress at work, yet when I open social media, I see a perfect feed of other people's successes.Family members who also see these dynamics may compare and discuss their lives with yours. This can lead to feelings of jealousy and resentment, further increasing stress and potentially affecting how I communicate with them in the future. Thus, while social media may have some beneficial applications for families, it is important to be aware of its potential adverse effects and

Kids today are too attached to their phones, but adults lead the examples. Children watch their parents to see how to act around others.
