Introduction:
In the past, communication was carried out through expressing and exchanging emotions mostly by conversation. Furthermore, the form of communication had been abundantly developed using newly created various physical tools and devices.
However, since digital technology has been rapidly advanced and internet environment has been provided to more households, the less family face-to-face communication by verbal conversation has been carried out. The living area is turning into the area where individuals enjoy music, computer games and watch TV. Due to less communication among family, emotional sharing within family is decreased.
