Call me old-fashioned, but I have a family computer. I got rid of my laptop, and got a desktop instead. It stays in the living room, in a desk drawer. The monitor is a portable monitor, and it gets put away when the computer is not in use. My kids aren't old enough to use it yet, but it will be the family computer eventually.

I've never bought a laptop or tablet for this very reason. No big phone (iPhone 13).

I'm still writting this now, from the couch. I fear how much screen time others waste.

We used to hide TVs when not in use, also - now we have TVs designed to be "always on" and show artwork instead.

Out of sight, out of mine - I think it's generally a good idea.
