We also asked Any other thoughts on devices / smart technology? Comments from our panel members included:

I love technology, but I really don’t love how dependent we are on it. Because everything is connected, if one thing malfunctions, we are lost.”

“Trying to keep them to a minimum! Apart from the smart tv, all the other devices are for grown ups. My kids are 5 and 8 so I don’t think we’ll get away with that for much longer!”

“Devices and smart technology are great and can make our lives easier but they’re no substitute for fresh air and exercise so I make sure to take regular breaks from them.”

“Our house works on smart technology now (CCTV, lights, alarm, heating)
Kids are pros at using all the controls. Still have strict rules around “screen time” however as they are very young still and do become overwhelmed with too much time on the iPad.”

“While they can be great when they work, you do need decent wifi/internet connection to get the best benefit from them.
