TECHNOLOGY is changing the way Australians communicate with their mums, with more using social media and video calls to stay in touch, new research suggests.
But no matter what method is used, it seems one thing will never change - we still call mum for help and advice.
In the run-up to Mother's Day, Telstra released data showing that half of all Australians chat to their mums once a week and 20 per cent do so every day.
But the evidence suggests more are using apps like Skype.
"These days more mums are happy to be called on their mobile for the weekly catch up and increasingly they are enjoying video calls too," Telstra's Inese Kingsmill said.
"In fact, 10 per cent of the mums we surveyed like receiving video calls from their kids and grandkids.
"Phoning home will take on a new meaning as technology advances."
Many of the calls - no matter what the medium - are made out of desperation rather than kindness.That's particularly true among younger people, with 13 per cent of those aged between 18-25 only telephoning mum when they want something, according to Telstra's research.
Mums aged between 40-44 are the least responsive to these sorts of calls, with seven per cent saying they'd ignore them.
"I'm sure many mums can relate to the urgent phone call from their kids wanting to know how to remove red wine stains from the carpet or how to get lumps out of the gravy," Ms Kingsmill added.
Facebook said 27 per cent of Australians aged between 13-18 were connected to their mums via the social networking site.
That's higher than in many other countries, including France (15.5 per cent) and Brazil (13.5 per cent).
Fifteen per cent of Australians have friended their mum on Facebook, listing the relationship in the "family" section on their profiles.
