of infants, who are emphasized to refrain from the use of
technological materials, with the technology. In the study, the
views of the parents on the significance of the television, phone
and tablet computers in infant’s life, the conditions under which
the infants interact with these communication technologies and
their behavior during these interactions were investigated. The
study group included 14 infants and their mothers reached using
convenience sampling method. In the present qualitative study,
data were collected with a semi-structured interview and video
recording methods. Thus, it was determined that the interaction
between the infants and the television started on the 5th month. It
was observed that the infants interacted with their smart phones
and tablet computers daily and their mothers utilized interesting
features of technological instruments to attract the attention of
infants, especially during feeding, and to amuse the infants while
they were busy with another task. It was concluded that mothers
did not have adequate knowledge on the advantages and
disadvantages of technological material for the infant. It was
determined that infants demonstrated great interest in
technological material due to the influence of their visual and
auditory attractiveness, they particularly perceived smart phones
as a toy and mimic adults in using smart phones.
