Being able to keep in touch with family members, no matter where they are, is one of the most popular uses of tech in the home. FaceTime was launched back in 2010 and is so widely-used, it constantly makes the news with heartwarming stories of connections. The technology itself is pretty mind-bending as well. Indeed, currently in beta is a little trick called FaceTime Attention Correction, which uses wizardry to guarantee eye contact during a FaceTime call. That will be handy for the Hucklemerry family, who regularly invite nanny to the dinner table with them.

We teamed up with Vodafone to show this connected life, with real families using tech to enhance their time together, and apart.
