Though, 60 % of parents think that the amount of time children spend using latest technology is very much impacting on time spent with family and friends.
The study show that today’s kids each possess an average of 924 pounds worth of electronic devices, and a third use their phone for messages quite a lot of times an hour. Two-thirds of children still admit to using their devices in bed, as well as mobile phones and tablets, raising concerns that youngsters are finding it complex to switch off.
This action is causing a shift in family dynamics, as over a third of children are even using technology to talk with family members while beneath the same roof, and a third of parents and their children plead guilty to using technology devices at the dinner table.
