Children’s predisposition to digital play could only be fully understood by looking at the wider context of the play activity; the children’s motives and goals, the tools used, the actions and interactions with the technologies, the larger community in which the play occurs, and the rules and norms informing what the children do and how they play. Exploring these facets may uncover the origins of children’s play with technology and the development of ‘addiction’ to such technologies.
