Computer Support Blog

Many of us remember sharing story time with our parents as kids or even to our own kids as parents.  The tradition of storybooks remains strong because it is a strong bonding experience between parent and child.  Mobile technology has made it even easier to share this experience with your children wherever you are, as mobile apps for narrated and interactive storybooks have become more and more commonplace.  However, cool person in technology Woody Sears believes he can make it even easier and more convenient with his new service iStorytime.  iStorytime is a subscription-based service that offers a large, growing collection of digital storybooks to its customers for a monthly charge.  Parents can also buy these digital storybooks a la carte within the iStorytime app.  Sears wants to consolidate the digital storybook experience into one app, so parents have an instant collection of books for their kids whenever they need it.  In theory, this takes away some of the headache of finding new material to read to your kids.  It also ensures that children have access to more varied content to help them learn.

Sears started zuuka, the company behind iStorytime, in 2009.  Originally, the company focused on individual storybook apps sold one at a time on the Apple App Store.  These apps included digitized versions of popular children’s books and licensed storybook versions of famous kid-focused IPs like Madagascar and The Smurfs.  Sears was successful in growing his company and eventually found they had built such a large library of digital storybook apps that a subscription service would make more sense for many parents.  This is why Sears pushed for the creation of the iStorytime app and the consolidation of his company’s many digital storybooks.  Parents who attempt to switch to using the iStorytime app for their kids’ books and have trouble will want iPad support for help.

Before founding his own company, Sears started his career in sales, working as a sales manager for Vettro and a global account manager for AT&T.  For his education, he received a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado and an MBA from Pepperdine University.

With entrepreneurs like Sears helping to expose children to technology at earlier stages of development with digital storybooks, we may see newer generations become so familiar with technology that they call for computer support far less often than our own.
