Abstract: This article presents the gap between parents and children in a technological age, especially in Arab society, which is considered a traditional society, that the father is conducted in authoritarian parenting style, the whole family obeys his instructions; he was the source of information for his sons. Technology has captured Arab society very quickly with the loading of content that the younger ones dominated more than adults and this enabled them to be familiar with the outside world and to build a virtual relationships.The conclusions are that the world of technology stole the children from their parents so that the parents became helpless, something which created a conflict between parents and children. This requires from the parents to change their education system, and even to adapt their parenting style to a technological age.
