La adicción a las TIC y su Impacto en la desintegración del núcleo familiar: una propuesta de intervención

Abstract

Within this research it was found that in the city of Machala the younger public is suffering a high tendency to addiction to mobile technology, although the term is not one hundred percent assumed as such, although they do not want to admit it as an addiction, this is present in the consumption habits of the younger population that generally participates both in their affective social life, within what is the use of applications and the use of cellular devices with which they intercommunicate and interact with other people. In this research different aspects were evidenced: one is that there is no control by parents despite the fact that they are the owners of the phones, a bad face is enough, a tantrum, and for not having problems and confrontations or because many arrive from their jobs tired they simply give in to the pressure and do not assume the role of parents to control the applications that their children use, the hours they spend on the phones as well as there is not enough control by parents to determine what content they share. In reality the addiction to cell phones is more than anything else a kind of definition, that despite everything scientists have not proven, but there is evidence, which is already setting the tone and is showing that this is not only a problem that happens in large countries but also in small cities like Machala.
