Families have become strained over generations with the amount of things they feel they have to accomplish in a day. Family meals have been invaded by portable devices such as: mobile phones, tablets and gaming devices. The two visuals use images and colors to show that on the one hand technology at the table can make the evening very boring due to the lack of communication between the family at the table, while the second image of the table without technology is full of communication and bright with excitement. The purpose of this image is to persuade people not to use technology such as texting or answering phone calls during family dinners and to communicate with each other. Viewers should first notice that the family is wearing nice clothes, which could indicate that they are successful. The children seem well put together and will do as well in life as their parents. Statistics say that children who dedicate an hour of their day to eating together with their families at dinner time are more likely to get higher grades, excel in life and are less likely to take drugs. It has also been shown that children are less likely to act out because they have time to let their parents know what they think and feel about certain situations. Parents who want their children to excel in life try to dedicate at least an hour to the family, sit down and talk about their day. The family needs to demonstrate that they communicate with each other, have fun and that it is easy to give up an hour a day. The bright colors they wear also show how happy they are with each other, they also seem to match and coordinate with each other. Viewers' emotions should be drawn into this image, the things they should feel happy...... middle of paper...... television, being at work away from work, using social media sites and play with hands held devices. The American family spends about 18 hours a month with their family, which is less than a month, but they may spend up to 5 hours a day on some sort of digital device, watch about 5 hours a day watching television, and about 2 hours listening music. the two images above one can mean about a million things and feel a thousand emotions, but will you actually change from the new information stated or the dependency on handheld devices is too great to let go. Communication within the family is important to maintaining successful relationships with spouses, so friends, classmates, colleagues or bosses are more important than those important relationships you can only hope to create with that special someone more forward in life.
