Family Authority and the Dictatorship of the Digital Human The Controversy of Digitalization and the Disintegration of Family Selves

Abstract

New technologies are constantly imposing complex patterns of change on family life,turning its scales upside down and imposing many challenges that keep growing and spreading, and perhaps the family authority is the most exposed to the expansion of the scope of technology and its influence in all social life, as digital expansion does not occur in a vacuum but through occupying family social spaces and gradually taking their place, so the family authority of the contemporary family finds itself in an incisive confrontation with a very complex and irresistible digital authority that is able to impose its style and values on its children, especially the young ones, and this digital influence seems to be dominating in such a way that it can transform the family.
