However, the sophistication of gadgets with a variety of features and devices not only implicate positively, but also negative. Positively, gadgets are able to tighten social interactions, but also have a negative impact, especially making the person engrossed with their own world.

For this reason, this research would like to see the happiness of three generations that influenced by the culture of individualism.
