  Of course the toy and entertainment industries have learned similar lessons already. This research stands out to me, though, because it's not considering products that are explicitly directed at children. Rather, it considers the broader role of technology within children's home lives. Children have always been surrounded by technology designed for and used by the adults in their lives. Our era is no exception to that.
