Next week's blogs will be dedicated to the impact of video games, texts, tweets and any other forms of electronic communication and entertainment on families. New research has come out underscoring how these forms of technology can help children and families, but also how they can destroy family and spousal relationships.

The Daddy-O blogs from Sept. 3 through Sept. 7 will feature some of these surprising new research studies, but also cover the issues on your mind. Email jeremy.olson@startribune.com if you have ideas for blogs on this subject, or can share stories about how technology has boosted or broken down the harmony in your family or personal life.
