Q:Should adults be allowed to spend more time on digital devices than kids?
A: No,well that depends. If an adult works from home they would use the computer more than their kids, since kids go to school and such where their access to computers is limited. Kids should be able to do what they want and not always obey the path that their parents took because their parents probably didn't take their "grand parents" path either.
