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.

Los dispositivos tecnológicos tienen una presencia creciente, sin embargo, en Argentina es escasa la información sobre su implementación en la infancia. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron describir la tenencia y los hábitos de uso de tecnologías en el hogar, indagar la percepción adulta sobre ese manejo y explorar perfiles de los participantes en función de estas variables. Para ello, participaron, respondiendo un cuestionario, 400 adultos responsables de niños (hasta 8 años). Los resultados fueron que los dispositivos a los cuales los niños tenían mayor acceso eran la TV, el smartphone, la tablet y la computadora. Por otra parte, la mayoría de los adultos consideró que el uso de estas herramientas afecta negativamente al tiempo compartido en familia, aunque reconoció su potencial educativo. En ese sentido, se definieron tres claros perfiles de participantes: aceptación y uso bajo, aceptación y uso medio, aceptación y uso alto. Este estudio aporta información en nuestra región sobre un fenómeno mayormente estudiado en Norteamérica y Europa.
