My name is Conrad Lisco, and this is my blog, where I post odds and ends, things and thoughts.
I work at R/GA in the Mobile & Emerging Platforms group. I'm most interested in the intersection of technology and culture. Addicted to location-based services. Live in Chinatown and love sneakers and street art.
Opinions are my own.
This is awesome data, and not unexpected. The iPhone is the 21st Century entertainment device. What's also very interesting are apps like The Hidden Park which is about shared experience, not just keeping the kids occupied.
Also interesting:
- 59% let their children use their phones
- 41% download games specifically for their children
- 42% regularly use their phones at the grocery store

When I was a kid, I used to love SpyTech. I had all the gizmos and gadgets there were, and probably drove my family bonkers by playing spy – dusting lamps for finger prints, listening in on conversations and generally, well, spying. These days, kids have a whole new set of toys to play with...a seemingly endless supply of gadgets that do what ours did but to the 10th power. Here are some of my favorite SpyTech gadgets and their iPhone (3.0) equivalents. I love technology. 
SpyTech finger print kit and Fingerprint Security Pro. 
SpyTech long range microphone and iHearClear. 
SpyTech note taking set with security alarm and Evernote. 
SpyTech periscope and Snapture Labs zoom lens.
Called "Scanner 911," this app lets you listen to police frequencies. It's pretty interesting to pick up LA police chatter. The content streams live.

No joke, this app (called I Am T-Pain) allows you to record to T-Pain songs. For an extra $. 99, you can download "I'm on a boat" which I highly recommend. I love technology!
