Abstract

Information and communication technology may penetrates the family in a useful or harmful way to the functioning and growth of family members or the family system. But why are the research results so contradictory in examining the impact of information and communication technology on family relationships? There are many reasons for this discrepancy. One reason for this lack of consensus is the absence of a coherent model. More research on the impact of ICT on the family are performed with accepted models and with known independent variables and they often Ignored the impact of complex human, textual, cultural, and technological issues. So, a model is needed to properly examine the impact of technology on the structural and emotional relationships of the family. The conceptual model of the impact of information and communication technology on the family seeks to organize existing literature, direct future research, and apply existing results and information.
