We asked three experts for suggestions and tips on what you can do together on mobile and tablet at Christmas. Certainly across generations.
In a series of cases, we look at how the small screens affects our daily life and social interaction in the family.

Tuesday we wrote about the babysitter, who believes we risk losing touch with our children in a display heavy everyday. And yesterday told IT expert Torgeir Waterhouse about his family handle the increased screen usage.
New Opportunities
Editor of the mobile site Mobili, Marius Valle, do not think it is necessarily so everyone VIII sitting face down in their monitors at Christmas.
- Immediately I think that there may be a social aspect to it as well. That one shows off pictures and such to the other family. If grandma is not on Facebook can the tablet be used as a photo album. Otherwise there are the numerous games that can be played by two people on the same screen, such as Cool cherry trees, says Valle.
He points out that there are apps that can be used with games such as craps and Risk apps. And missing family board games they can play the example Monopoly on your tablet or phone.
– Or how about one of the younger family members offer Grandpa a crash course in tablet or app use for Christmas? Many older’ve gradually acquired smartphone, says Valle.
Within a year, nearly twice as many children between three and eleven years had access to the media tray and 46 per cent have their own mobile phone, according to figures from TNS Gallup Media Children Survey.

He also turns a blow to the ever popular Angry Birds or one of the many variants of the game.
– This is fun for the whole family, for whom like’re not hurling angry birds at pigs naughty once in a while? And if you’re not in the mood to play so like all the drawing. Drawing Pad is a great tool for both large and small to exactly this.
