Unfinished homework, messy rooms and excessive screen use are common in many Spanish households, Epson has revealed in an interesting survey became a frequent point of family tension. According to the data collected, 42% of families report discussions related to schoolwork, while 52% highlight that the time their children spend on electronic devices is one of their main concerns. These situations create an environment of constant negotiation and stress, which affects both pupils and their parents, who deal with the demands of school and technology management at home.

A survey conducted by Epson shows that technological issues play a very important role in this tension. Three out of four families (76%) report having had some type of conflict as a result of malfunctioning technology in the home. Wi-Fi problems, dead device batteries and forgotten passwords top the list of everyday obstacles that complicate life at home. Moreover, the study shows that 37% of families have experienced what is known as “printer panic”the anxious situation when you need to print an important document, such as a homework or school assignment, and the printer runs out of ink at the most inopportune moment.

A study that consulted more than 1,000 parents of children older than 11 years in several European countriesincluding Spain, Germany and the UK, highlights how technological issues affect the everyday lives of families. As a result of these results, Epson focused on one of the main causes of this tension: the lack of ink in the printers at key moments.
