We live in a tech world where some toddlers are so used to touchscreens, they can’t work out why magazine covers aren’t interactive. Which of these do your kids have (ie, for their primary use)? Select as many as you need to in each age category.

I don't have children under 18 (863 people)

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
