Let Children Get Bored Again
Whenever I have a child, I will not allow him or her to have internet access at home, until they're teenagers.<p>I don't like the idea of setting time limits—I feel like I spent too much of my childhood waiting for the next opportunity to use a computer. <i>Tools</i> are not inherently good or bad, and my child should have the opportunity to explore them as he or she sees fit. However, I very much want to keep my child away from exploitative media, and I don't know how to control that other than just cutting off the internet.<p>If they play games, I want them to be games that teach <i>something</i>. Zelda teaches you problem solving skills, and Celeste at least teaches something about humanity. Neither attempts to suck you in for infinite lengths of time.
