This paper deals with the topic "Influence of Modern Technology on the Family". To give a better insight into the influence of modern technology on society, the family and the individual, the family definition was first discussed, then the family's origin and function and direct and indirect family influences were explored. Furthermore, the style of education that characterizes the family and the characteristics of a functional and dysfunctional families are treated. As many technological changes throughout the world have occurred over the years, so the family has lost its previous appearance, which is particularly noticeable in the 20th and 21st centuries when information and communication technology began to change rapidly. Thus, in this paper, the changes that affected the family were highlighted and the difference between today's family and family was discussed. It is highlighted by the accelerated way of life we live with more and more families under the influence of media and modern technology. Children at the earliest age become servants of modern technology because parents do not have time for them. Also, parents themselves are powerless and they do not know how to direct their children so that technology does not have so much negative impact on them, so in this final paper we have highlighted some of the tips on how to access the media, how to use them for common family activity and how to extract positive media and modern technology. In the final part of the paper, survey results were analyzed by 126 respondents. 82,5 % of parents agreed that kids should have education about using modern technology.
