Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to analyze how BlackBerry as a new media technology changes communication behavior among family members, particularly between parents and adolescents, and users' perception of these changes. The method used in this research is qualitative method by Focus Group Discussions with two different groups of BlackBerry active users and non-BlackBerry users. The findings revealed that adolescents have the tendency to avoid communication trough BlackBerry with their parents. The adolescents also feel that the emoticons in BlackBerry Messenger cannot replace the face-to-face expressions. As a result, the changes of communication behavior brought by this medium are seen to be less effective than face-to-face communication. In addition, it is concluded that adolescents who take advantage of communication with parents through BlackBerry effectively are those who already maintain good communication with them in everyday life.
