different devices they use make being a Mom easier. The devices
help them get more done, manage their life and their family's lives
more effectively, and stay better connected with family and

According to the study, Moms use the following technology and devices:
Computer (89%)
Internet (87%)
Mobile Device (84%)
Television (80%)
Digital Camera (77%)
CD/DVD Player (75%)
Social Networks (55%)
Disney Online's M.O.M. – Mom on a Mission study was conducted in June 2010 by Ipsos OTX MediaCT, with the objective of gaining insights to understand today's Mom, her roles, and how
technology and the Internet affect her life. The study was conducted in two phases: consumer immersion blogs and online quantitative study. In Phase One, nine moms interacted in an online,
secure blogging environment by uploading images, video and text for one week. In Phase Two, an online quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 3,300 females, ages 21-54, who
were either currently pregnant or had one child in their household between the ages of 0-14 years.
