Being in Silicon Valley makes me strict when it comes to my children's technology use. I am surrounded by it all day, so I try to avoid it when I get home. I set screen-time limits, because I think it's good to diversify activities.
My children - in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod.
I don't spend much time on the computer at all, so I do most of my email on my phone if I do any at all.
When I get my weekly screen-time reports from Apple, it's disturbing.
The way I see it, more people are wired with broadband from 9 to 5 during the day than watch TV at night. So therefore isn't the real prime time 9 to 5? Playing games at your desk - that's the new prime time, isn't it?
It's very important that children learn to use technology - it's part of life - but also that they learn when to put it down.
For me, even with my Twitter and Facebook, I'm not on it all the time. I don't Twitter every day.
Your computer needn't be the first thing your see in the morning and the last thing you see at night.
I don't think I miss anything by not watching television.
I love music. But I've never owned a TV in my adult life, and I've never lived in a place with a television.
Many academicians don't even own a television, much less watch one.
I hate the thought of my children being glued to a screen. Children only play on computers all day because their parents let them.
You know, I don't watch television! Sorry! I actually don't even have a television. I don't, I really don't. It's nuts, but it's true.
