My family could definitely relate to the Campbell family. We all have cell phones, iPods, computers, etc. On the computer, we've got Facebook, youtube, tumblr, and twitter accounts. I don't see any type of "generation gap" at all. Even while my mom is driving, she's on her phone. I'll say "Mom, stop texting" and she'll reply "I'm not, I'm checking Facebook." Before I moved out, we'd sometimes use texting to communicate throughout the house, like to say when dinner's ready or what time we're leaving for something. On trips or special events, we all have our phones on us constantly. I don't always view that as a bad thing because in a way it still brings us together since we can take pictures and post things together about what we're doing. My grandparents definitely have a harder time with keeping up; they don't text and struggle with Facebook. They still email though, which is a huge step from when they were growing up.
