If your family seems to have a hard time letting go of their electronics, you may have to consider ways to integrate technology into your activities. One way is to collaborate with your family on a playlist using a smartphone or a computer. Create the playlist together, adding songs you think your family may enjoy. You can then listen to the playlist when you are traveling as a family or when you are spending time together. Having a family playlist can be a fun way to share your musical tastes with your family and bond in a fun way. You can also keep adding to the playlist, making it a common point of discussion in the family on a day to day basis. Another option is to play games on the computer or through a computer program together as a family. This way, you can all still bond and spend time together, and not have to give up the use of electronics completely. You may all choose a computer game you can play in teams for a game night. Or you may take turns playing an interactive computer game as a fun way to hang out on the weekend as a family. You may try switching up the types of games you play as a family on a weekly basis. For example, one night may be computer games and the following night may be board games or an outing outdoors. Having a variety of games can keep your family engaged in spending time together. Share information with your family through texting, video chat, and social media. Send your family interesting articles online or interesting videos so you can all discuss them later at dinner. Keep in touch through texting so your family is connected on a regular basis. Doing this can allow your family to use electronics in a healthy, productive way. You may try to encourage family to communicate through electronics and in person. This way, there is a healthy balance in how you connect with each other. For example, you may send a family member a link to an interesting online article. Then, you may all discuss the article later at the dinner table to connect in person and bond over a shared issue. Another way to integrate electronics into your family time is to play games that require family members to use their phones to play. There are trivia games and other party games that you can play using your cellphones as controllers. Check out the games that are available for your game console or computer. One option is the Jackbox Party Pack which includes trivia, drawing games, and fill in the blank games.

Point-and-shoot digital cameras are the most basic option available. They tend to be very small, lightweight, and relatively cheap. While point-and-shoot digital cameras contain only the most basic functions, they are very user-friendly and can capture quality images for personal use.  Point-and-shoot digital cameras generally cost anywhere from $50 to $500.  While there are plenty of point-and-shoot cameras on the market that can capture great personal images, these cameras don’t allow for the creative control and quality needed for professional use. Zoom compact digital cameras are similar to point-and-shoot cameras in that they are small and generally affordable. Yet, unlike the most basic compacts, zoom compacts have a manual zoom option in addition to the basic automatic zoom. This allows users to capture clearer images at greater distances.  Like point-and-shoot compacts, zoom compact digital cameras don’t usually have an interchangeable lens option. Zoom compacts are great for personal use but are not for professional photographers. Most zoom compacts have a zoom range of 28-300 mm.  These digital cameras usually cost between $150 and $500. Unlike point-and-shoot or zoom compacts, advanced compact digital cameras have both automatic and manual exposure and focusing modes. While more complex than most point-and-shoot and zoom options, these cameras are easy to use if you are a knowledgeable, more advanced hobby photographer.  Advanced compact digital cameras generally take higher resolution pictures than other compact options. While most point-and-shoot cameras have a resolution of about 20 megapixels, for example, most advanced compacts have a resolution of about 45 megapixels.  Many advanced compacts can support an external flash connection, giving you more control over what your images will look like. Advanced compacts generally cost about $400 to $1,000. Mirrorless compact cameras are named as such because they do not contain an internal mirror to reflect light to the sensor. Instead, the light goes in through the lens and hits the sensor directly, enabling users to get a digital preview of the image on the rear LCD screen. While mirrorless options are often as small, lightweight, and, in some cases, affordable as other compacts, many of these digital cameras have the capabilities required for professional use.  Many mirrorless compacts enable you to have full creative control with manual modes, interchangeable lens, external flashes, large sensors, and a resolution of up to 45 megapixels. Be aware, however, that external lenses and flashes cost a minimum of $100. Mirrorless digital cameras usually cost between $400 and $4,000. Like some mirrorless compacts, digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are great for hobbyists and professionals alike. The majority of professional photographers choose DSLR cameras because they have the capability of supporting a wide range of lens and flash options and can support a large, full-frame sensor. Many professionals, however, are gravitating towards mirrorless compacts for their smaller, lightweight style.  A large, full-frame sensor uses more light to create an image, which allows the camera to record more image information and ultimately produce better, clearer images.  There is a very wide range in the quality of DSLR cameras and their corresponding parts, so make sure that you research the specific camera you are interested in. DSLR cameras can cost anywhere from $400 to $3,000. Medium format cameras offer the highest image quality available and with it, the highest price tag. For most professionals, the resolution and sensor size available with medium format cameras is unnecessary. If you work for a magazine or in advertising, where highly sophisticated imaging may be required, however, a medium format digital camera might be worth the investment. Medium format cameras range anywhere from about $7,000 to well over $50,000.
