| Sumario: | Technological devices have a growing presence, however, in Argentina there is little information about their implementation in childhood. The objectives of this study were to describe the possession and habits of technology use at home, to investigate adult perceptions of such use, and to explore the participants’ profiles according to these variables. Four hundred adults responsible for children (up to 8 years old) participated completing a questionnaire. The results showed that the devices to which children had the most access were TV, smartphone, tablet and computer. The majority of adults considered that the use of these tools negatively impacts on family time-sharing, although they recognized their educational potential. Three clear profiles of participants were identified: acceptance and low use, acceptance and medium use and, acceptance and high use. This study provides information of our country on a phenomenon mostly studied in North America and Europe. |
