2. 77% of families communicate via SMS and instant messaging!
3. 90%  of  moms   worry  if  replies   come  late  
4. 65% of children reply late 
 (life just takes over)... !
5. The opportunity (users and need) •  Users: Parents-children communication do occur via Instant (or not so “instant”) messaging •  Need: Responses that arrive late (with respect to expectations) are a source of worries. The problem is common and widespread Is there a calming technology we can invent? or adopt?
6. The insight: Make sharing effortless, not just easier. Achieve this by designing manual interactions that naturally blend into the flow of life.
7. Choose what do you want to share: •  Text •  Location •  Photo •  Calendar event  
8. The buts... •  But, how are you going to make money? •  But, will this replace a more meaningful interaction? •  But i want effort! However: •  Maybe with a patent. Maybe with a tool. Maybe I won’t. The goal was to identify a calming technology •  Unlikely, as interaction is often addictive, but this is to be studied •  Hopefully parents won’t get offended as much as our partners would do
