The survey, which was carried out by Online at Three, found that just under a quarter of dads used their tablet to play games with their children in order to bond, while one in 10 felt watching a YouTube video together qualified as 'quality time'.
The findings also revealed that while fathers were more likely to use mobile internet to keep in touch with their children, mothers preferred to communicate via text messages.
Similarly, when it came to using technology, almost half of parents surveyed admitted they had pretended to call the police in order to stop their child from acting up. A further fifth of parents confessed they had used their smartphone to film their kid's tantrum – and then play it back for them.
Joe Parker, Director of Online at Three, said: "British families and dads in particular have embraced mobile technology in a bid to facilitate everyday parenting. From being able to connect to your child at the touch of a button, to helping to answer difficult questions and taking photos to share with friends and family both here and abroad.
"Our research has also found that the mobile internet is allowing parents across the UK to boast about their child's talent. One in 10 dads has posted a funny video of their child to YouTube in the hope that it will go viral."
