Location-Based Devices, Internet of Things Home, Social Media, and Wearables Change the Shape of Modern Parenting
NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Is my child online too much? How long will it take me to drive across town to pick up Jimmy? What's the best time to water the lawn? What's for dinner tonight? What's the homework load like tonight? How safe is my home? Where did I put those car keys?
From the ridiculous to the sublime technology is changing the landscape for modern parents. Living in Digital Times' Family Tech Summit at CES® 2016 provides a deep look and lively discussion about what it means to be a parent and how technology can help.
Three major trends dominate the discussion: the connected smart home, parenting with mobile devices and the emergence of wearable technologies. In the Family Tech Marketplace on the CES exhibit floor one can experience new technologies like tablets, trackers, kitchen appliances, wearables, entertainment devices and augmented reality in the context of family life. A special Kids & Technology Marketplace will showcase robots, maker-type toys, and imaginative digital play for kids.
"A new generation of parents depend on technology to do everything from keeping tabs on their families to grocery shopping, from doing the laundry to planning the vacation. Not only do they use tech, they help define the next generation of it by staying in touch with the brands they value," says Robin Raskin, founder and president, Living in Digital Times.
During the Family Tech Summit, a one-day conference held on January 7th, attendees will be the first to see the newest ideas and trends in kids and family technologies. Register here for the Family Tech Summit.
