MOBILE COMPUTING- EFFECTS ON FAMILY RELATIONSHIP 

Mobile computing is a generic term that refers to a variety of devices that allow people to access data and information from wherever they are. Sometimes referred to as "human-computer interaction," mobile computing transports data, voice, and video over a network via a mobile device."

Mobile devices can be connected to a local area network (LAN), or they can take advantage of Wi-Fi or wireless technology by connecting via a wireless local area network (WLAN).

The Benefits of Mobile Computing

1. Connectivity: You can stay connected to all sources at all times.

2. Social Engagement: You can interact with a variety of users via the Internet.

3. Personalization: You can tailor your mobile computing to your individual needs.

The most common mobile computing devices include:

1. Cellphones

2. Smartphones

3. Tablets and

4. Personal Computers (PC's)

This have been very beneficial as for instance smartphone technology has brought new social networks and new opportunities for both marketers and individual but in my personal opinion based on observation, I have noticed that this same thing that had brought so much good has also been destroying individual relationship.

We are in the digital times and this had caused humans to now act like zombies walking around disclosed to their cellular devices and lack awareness of their environment. We had reach a point now where we refer to family time as a traditional practice and not a norm. Long ago, family time was a norm as physical communication with each other’s was default individual's preferred that way.

Now, with the introduction of smartphone technology as much as it keeps us informed and connected to each other. It still deprives us our spiritually connection with love ones and allows us to lose out on a lot. Thus, your smartphone may help you stay in touch, we loses the personal touch due to its addictive nature on individuals which influences time lost.

With this being said, I want to leave with a quote by Jacqueline Leo states, "one look at an email can rob you of 15 minutes of focus. One call on your phone, one tweet, one instant message can destroy your schedule, forcing you to move meetings or blow off really important things like love and friendship."
