To answer your question, as a family...Thanks Mike. To answer your question, as a family we don't have a hard and fast rule about internet use. Computer use is an individual action. It seems that if one of us spends "too much time" on the computer the other person tends to vocalize this fact. It also usually has a specific purpose -checking email, downloading pictures, etc. The problem with TV was that we were watching it together so neither of us really noticed when we were watching too much. Also TV isn't really a tool for accomplishing a task. At best it's an entertainment escape. At worst it's time suck. <BR/><BR/>We've talked about the merging of technologies that could possibly combine the television and the computer during our lifetimes. We'll cross that bridge if we ever come to it.nulinegvgvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007178148902846658noreply@blogger.com
