“…Parent surveys and case studies have documented that exposure to caregivers using mobile internet‐based devices begins in infancy (e.g., Harrison & McTavish, ; Kildare & Middlemis, ) and that an estimated 98% of American children ages 0–8 live in homes with devices that can access the internet (Rideout, ). Moreover, on average, American children spend over an hour a day using computers or mobile devices (Rideout, ).…”

“…Although both parents and older children sometimes report concerns about the amount of time they spend using technology (Kildare & Middlemis, ), parents generally have a positive attitude toward their children's use of internet‐based technology (Nikken & Jansz, ). In a study of American parents of children ages 2–7, the majority of parents believed that using technological devices would benefit their child and prepare them for the workforce (Vittrup, Snider, Rose, & Rippy, ).…”

Children are increasingly exposed to devices that can access the internet, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, beginning early in life. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the understanding and use of internet‐based devices among children from birth through age 8, while highlighting gaps in the literature and opportunities for future research. The first section describes children's access to internet‐based devices, and discusses the role that parents play in mediating children's access to internet‐based devices. The second section describes children's developing understanding of how internet‐based devices work and what they can do, and how capable children are of accessing information from the internet using these devices. The third section discusses potential implications of children's use of internet‐based devices for children's cognitive development, with an emphasis on the development of memory, metacognition, and exploration.

“…The technology that allows us to improvise easily also increases the speed of interactions with family and can simultaneously diffuse attention between family members (Jarvenpaa, Lang, & Tuunainen, 2005). For example, researchers have studied and observed a decrease in people's report of "quality" time with family and an increase in "technoference," or interruptions in interpersonal relationships (Kildare & Middlemiss, 2017;McDaniel, 2019). Parents can be particularly influential in modeling the use of technology for their children.…”

Scholars across many academic fields have studied adolescence, family development, and technology use. As such, existing research has reflected the theoretical orientations of several different disciplines—disciplines that have generally operated in silos and without integration. To begin to make meaningful connections among these theoretical ideas, we apply and integrate theories that can help elucidate how parent–child dynamics influence adolescent development in a media‐saturated family environment. First, we present some of the paradoxes that have emerged as a result of innovation and the adoption of mobile technology. Then, we provide a brief overview of the theories that have been applied to adolescence and technology in the family context. Finally, we consider opportunities to integrate and apply theoretical ideas from outside adolescent development that can enrich future research.

“…While these numbers are rapidly growing, today, more than half of the world population use the Internet (Internet World Statistics 2017) and there are claimed to be some 2.79 billion active social media users in the world (Stevens 2016). Concrete impacts of virtualization of the life-worlds are becoming manifest in, for instance, how people spend time (Nielsen 2016), moralize (Hopp, Parrot and Wang 2017), work (Villadsen 2016), participate politically (Choi, Lee and Metzgar 2017), and how children are being raised and educated (Kildare and Middlemiss 2017).…”

Virtualization of the life-world

The diffusion of technological artifacts, in particular, devices of communication and the Internet have transformed the life-world of essentially everyone living in a modern society. In the past few years our everyday, including livelihoods, has seen a proliferation of activities within virtual worlds, such as games and virtual social networks. We can now live and experience actively in different virtual realms, as compared to being mere passive receivers in the era of television and radio. This has direct implications in what is inherently relevant for people and, in consequence, we have to take such transformation in account also in conceptual terms. The main implication to the conceptual palette of phenomenological sociology is that due to virtualization, we can no more equate the paramount reality as the zone of primary relevance. The paramount reality as conceived as the sensorily perceivable, physical world of concrete objects is increasingly far from being equated to the zone of primary relevance; that part of the world within our reach which we can immediately observe and also at least partially dominate. It is furthermore argued that the ongoing virtualization of societies urges us to conceive virtual worlds as transforming the subuniverse of the world of working instead of seeing virtual worlds merely as other finite provinces of meaning. Based on Alfred Schütz's work, this essay conceptually scrutinizes virtual worlds with an aim to clarify what is at stake with the virtualization of the modern society.
