Medium is the Message
The interesting thing about cell phones is that the same medium brings both good and bad values. In looking at families that can easily stay connected through a "group text" while they are away from each other, utilize their cellphones in such a way that brings joy to each person. Consequently, when the family having dinner over the holidays, they are glued to their cellphones and not enjoying each others company.
