@markwyner@mas.to 4-6 hours online a day seemed like a lot to me until I realized they’re probably including time spent doing school work online. I know when I was a teen I did not interact with other kids every day because:
1. I was a bit of an outcast.
2. We didn’t live close to other kids.
3. I got home from school around 5pm and still had homework to do and dinner to eat (this would have taken up at least an hour of my 4-5 hours available for the internet that day)
My primary source of interaction with other kids was when I would go to a friend’s house on the weekend to play D&D, but I had initially been forbidden to play that because it was “satanic” and then had to hide it. Reminds me a lot of what’s going on now with the age gating for modern teens.
