Modern technology is a tool that modern society uses not only for entertainment but also for communication and education. The question arises as to whether the power and influence of modern technology and the ubiquitous availability of positive or negative consequences in various aspects of our lives. A particularly worrying area is the dynamics and communication of the family. Given the above reasons, the impact and importance of technology on family communication, research was conducted on modern technology and its impact on the family. The aim of the research is to describe how modern technology affects family relationships and communication, and how much technology affects the alienation of young people. The sample consisted of 6 interlocutors, parents aged 25 to 65 years. The research was conducted in a semi-structured interview, using a deliberate sample. The interview consisted of 19 questions that were divided into three categories, family communication and technology, the connection of children and parents with media technology, and the use of technology in family life. The results of the research showed differences in the answers of the interlocutors about the use of media and modern technology. Younger respondents showed that they use modern technology more. It is obvious that the media, as well as modern technology, influence the way the family socializes and as a result leave a mark on their relationships. Ultimately, the results showed that media and technology can undoubtedly not be classified into a precise group of positive or negative, because different media devices have different purposes in family life. The alienation that occurs through the use of technology is becoming part of everyday life, young people are aware of alienation and are trying to find a way out of it.
