The easy interface of touchscreen technologies like tablets and
smartphones have enabled children to access the digital world from
a very young age. But while some commentators are enthusiastic
about how this can open up a new world for play, learning, and
developing digital skills, others see the dangers of yet more
screens, inauthentic play, and time spent isolated with electronic
babysitters that detract from interaction with parents and the
learning of social skills. Including a glossary of key terms, this
book draws on a three-year research project examining the realities
of 0-5 years olds’ experiences of these technologies in the UK
and Australia. The authors draw heavily on Vygotsky and engage with
other thinkers including Bronfenbrenner and Bruner. It explores how
parents of young children evaluate these opportunities and
concerns, and how they try to work out ways to parent in relation
to technologies they did not experience in their own childhood. The
book examines how digital technologies fit in with other elements
of children’s daily lives including their preferences, pleasures
and sociability. The book also explores the extent to which
grandparents, parents and educators engage with children’s
experience of digital technologies.
