When it comes to understanding how young people and their families are coping with today’s technology, there are no better experts than Sonia Livingstone and Alicia Blum-Ross. Both have been researching this subject for years and they have recently collaborated on an excellent book “Parenting for a Digital Future” based on in-person interviews and surveys of families. Though the research was done in London, it’s applicable to America because it delves into the lives of a vastly divergent group of families from many backgrounds and nationalities and all income levels. This interview is well worth your time if you want to learn more about how today’s families are coping with technology.
