The "My Heart Will Go On" singer said people no more have human connections and to make things better one has to use the technology in a smarter way. 

''We don't look each other in the eye anymore, we don't touch and feel—it's partly down to technology and it can lead to bullying. Social media and technology is our life now.

''Can you imagine not having a phone or a computer? We have no choice but to use technology but we have to use it in a smart way," Dion told Hello! magazine.

The singer said she makes sure her kids, Rene-Charles, 18, and twins Eddy and Nelson, eight, put their devices down and spend time with her. 

"Sometimes I say to Eddy, 'Put your phone down and look me in the eyes. How was your day?' Or, 'Hey! Where's my hug?'

''He's like, 'Here we go again', and they hate it but we need to force them to talk and write something," she said.
