what role does technology and electronics play in your romantic relationships?

my husband and i used to hardly ever use technology, especially when we were together. we had dumb phones and would watch tv on the laptop only occasionally.

now we are both exhausted from work and i find us watching lost every single night. if not that, then a movie or different tv show. we have iphones now and when we come home from work my husband has the tendency to stare at his phone for hours. i find myself tempted to do the same. i can't say i'm happy with the role technology has started to play in our lives.

what is it like for you and your partner? do you find yourself spending a lot of time staring at a screen of some sort? how do you feel about that?

bonus question- if you have kids, how has your family's use of technology influenced your relationship with them?
