Title
Mobile family interaction: how to use mobile technology to bring trust, safety and wellbeing into families
Abstract
Mobile devices have become an important part of adult life, where they are now used for media consumption and creation instead of traditional telephony function only. The same trend is visible in teens and children, both of whom are using mobile devices increasingly. Naturally the extensive use of technology easily brings up new threats, especially as mobile devices are mobile, and they cannot be tied to fixed locations that could be monitored. Nevertheless, the technology may also be beneficial for communication and family life when used smartly. These positive interaction possibilities need to be highlighted, as they provide new space for innovation. Developing our understanding further in this matter requires a multidisciplinary approach. Hence we ask for contributions from several fields, such as ethnography, education and design studies. This way we can enhance dialogue and co-create new solutions together.
