In this study, we focused on knowing the reality of the use of these technologies and their importance and impact on the family atmosphere, the social upbringing of the individual, etc. Through this study, we reached the conclusion that the speed of access to information and ease of communication requires the use of many media of information and communication technology, which have brought about fundamental changes in the life of the individual and society at all psychological, social and economic levels
