- legends2k 4y agoNot the GP, but I seen family to have elders who's aware and keen on not having a lot of shiny stuff in general. Computers _are_ shiny for kids in such households.
- evolve2k 4y agoOh another thing that I suppose helped was to collect and build an appreciation for old school tech. A gameboy is a parents friend these days, much less addictive than most modern devices. Gameboy, record players, takagochi, visits to a local HackerSpace and later a home drone and some 8 bit gaming, all helped build an appreciattion for a more home grown tech aesthetic. Also I had the plan to pay my kids $200 if they could get their touch typing speed up high enough, but that’s another story.
