Homework, e-mail, games, blogs. The list of computer-dependent activities is long, especially now that schools and college classes are resuming. What’s your person-to-computer ratio in your household? Is there one per person? One per six people? No computer?
In my house, my husband and I share a computer, which we both need occasionally for work purposes. But he also has a work laptop that he can bring home when he’s working on paperwork or reports. Even so, there are times when I want to surf the Web and he wants to play Civilization. We usually negotiate and come up with some way to share our time.
How do you share computer time? Do you watch the clock? Does one’s person history report deadline trump another’s desire to play Sims? Do you wait until the kids are in bed?
