18．A recent report found 46% of parents agreed that their child knew more about the Internet than they did．And now new research shows parents are turning to their children for lessons in technology．
The new study of around 1，000parents showed that 67% of parents have asked their teenage children for technology-related advice.44% have asked their teenagers for help using the Internet，and 41% have received teen advice about how to use the TV or home entertainment system
Robert，a father of five children，says his children help him with technology in the home．"They've grown up surrounded by technology，"he explains．"We have four computers and four iPads in our house．If I want to know something technical they're the ones I go to．"
He says his nine-year-old son Ben is the only person in the house who really understands the TV．So he tells Ben which film he wants to watch and Ben connects his mobile phone to the TV．"You teach your kids everyday life lessons，but the tables are turned when it comes to technology，"says Robert．
