Sandbox Summit@MIT 2012 – Going Mobile, Going Global
April 17-18, 2012 | MIT | Cambridge, MA
The mobile revolution has not only changed the tools of play; it’s changed the rules.
From toddlers to tweens to twenty-somethings, life is an ebook, ready to upload. Kids can—and do—play, connect, and communicate 24/7. The kind of device they own is secondary; a keyboard and fingers are really all they need. The rest is just i-candy.
Sandbox Summit will make sense of what this real-time technology is teaching our kids. And what their usage is teaching us. Come hear the latest research, touch the newest devices, and discover what happens after Gen Z.
