Family and the confusion of technology

I came across this article about how technology is causing families to spend less time together.  I came across this other article saying that the lack of technology is keeping families apart.  The first article was based on research done by the Annenberg Centre for the Digital Future, a think tank based out of the University of Southern California.  The second article was based on research commissioned by Panasonic, a tech company.  So what's a family to do?
