When the PC becomes a parenting problem

When Hemi Zucker's 8-year-old son began refusing to leave the computer for the dinner table, things came to a head.

His wife, frustrated by the many hours a week their son plays games online and his vehemence to stretch out the fun, banned the computer altogether.

"The computer is the 'c' word in our house," said Zucker, a Los Angeles resident.

The Zuckers aren't alone with the creeping feeling that their kids are spending too much time online (http://www.news.com/Summers-here%2C-...-6190622.html).

I do and have spent way more time than this on the computer. It's kind of been my electronic babysitter growing up. :cool:

How much time online?
On average, more than three-quarters of Americans age 12 and older spend about 8.9 hours online per week, up about an hour from a 2005 study from the USC-Annenberg Digital Future Project. But young people, specifically ages 8 to 18, spend about an hour on the computer and 49 minutes playing video games per day, according to the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.
