It focuses on the roles of parents in monitoring children’s screen time, of technology in relationship formation, and of technology in changing family dynamics.  Nuanced coverage considers the emerging conflicts and paradoxes associated with digital family life—closeness versus isolation, children versus parents as experts, and privacy versus surveillance. Contributors also identify new research opportunities as family roles and structures continue to evolve and technology becomes a greater lens for family studies.\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the topics covered:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow parents manage young children’s mobile media use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdolescents as the family technology innovators\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnline dating: changing intimacy one swipe at a time\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology in relational systems: roles, rules, and boundaries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelevision “effects” on international family change\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterplay between families and technology: future investigations\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFamilies and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of family studies, sociology, marriage and family therapy, social welfare, public health, and psychology.
