Father’s Day is almost upon us (happy one to you if you are lucky enough to be a Dad!). I think I am pretty tech savvy – how do you compare to this from Mashable:
The blogging, Facebook updating, digitally hip mom has become a domestic trope these days. But what about dads?
Statistics show they’re catching on too. In fact, in some ways dads may even be more social media savvy than their female parenting counterparts, according to family life survey conducted last year. Fathers, the study found, had 26 more online friends than mothers on average, and were 7% more likely to be friends with their child on a social network. Dads also spent significantly more time interacting with their kids online, according to the study.
Dads are using technology and social media to connect with one another, too. A number of popular “daddy blogs” have popped up online, and social media-themed conferences for dads have generated impressive engagement.
The Internet education portal OnlineSchools.com pulled together research from a number of sources to produce the infographic below. Check it out to see a fuller picture of just how connected dads are today.
Who’s more tech savvy — your mom or your dad? Let us know in the comments.
