It is quite obvious that ICT has transformed our way of life and therefore has great influence on our culture and social relations.
The introduction of ICT in the school system has given us many new opportunities and challenges.
I must emphasize that the arguments below are based on my own or other authors' experiences.
Let us first look at the results of research conducted by NOVA pursuant to PC and and TV use in Norwegian schools.
A research by NOVA in Norwegian schools shows that 96% of boys and 94% of girls have a PC at home, while 85% of boys and 82% of the girls have Internet connection at home.
Home in Norway today with children between the ages of 13 and 19 have their own PC and Internet connection. The research also shows that there is a direct relationship between parent education and ICT use at home.
The research shows that 54% of boys and about 25% of girls use the PC daily or almost daily.
Despite the fact that ICT has created a lot of opportunities, such a high degree of IT usage creates social and cultural changes also new risks and challenges.One of the key areas that were changed, the methods of communication.
In addition, cyber-bullying has created a wider bullying without school times.
Although the communications technology seemed like a positive force for maintaining relationships with geographically distant family members and keeping in touch with family members that they may not be able to see very often, but it seems healed differently and disturbed at the close family relationship.

The possibilities for cooperation between the teachers and between schools has also become larger with the introduction of local networks and the Internet.
Despite the new opportunities that will be the cabinet of digital tools, it is a worry and fear about technology's negative effects.
Here I try to look more closely at the lit part of the problems that threaten their children (students) the development and growth.

PC use and family
Without doubt it is the family the central unit in society is essential for individual development and raised.
It has been pointed out that young people today have a more pronounced culture than bedrooms
earlier. Much of the time they find themselves in their room, as opposed to
previous generations who spent more of their leisure time outdoors (Livingstone,, 2002).

Several hours use of communication technology lead to loss of time with family or interaction and activities.
It's not just young people's computer use interferes with family time, the availability through communication technology and communications work often interferes with family time.
Current technology allows the children to engage with their devices than with their families, especially when they are home.
Without doubt, the use of ICT at home without any rules and restrictions lead to serious consequences and changes in the family. To that end, the family members only a joint residence to live!
