Fun and Games for the 21st Century Family

Mobile phones, Tom-Toms, laptops, digital cameras, MP3s, camcorders, DVD players... These days scarcely a home in the country is without at least one of these devices ? yet for many they are the scourge of family togetherness. One stereotypical image of a 21st-century family might show the kids upstairs (one gaming on his PC, the other dancing to music from her Ipod), while Dad is in the living room watching a repeat of Top Gear on BBC Iplayer, and Mum half-watches Coronation Street on TV, halfthumbs a text to a friend on her mobile. All of which is why the time is ripe for this unique book, in which bestselling authors Caplin and Jones show that gadgets can be a force for good in the home! From games you can play on the kitchen table in the five minutes before dinner to day-long adventures in the open air, and with brand new games as well as fresh takes on perennial classics, Fun and Games for the 21st Family is a hugely inventive book no modern home should be without. AUTHOR: Steve Caplin and Simon Rose live and write in London. They are coauthors of numerous successful books. Steve is a technology whizz, and sole author of the 200,000 copy-selling How to Cheat in Photoshop.
