Latter Day Sinner

The fact is I’m awful about managing screen time. I started playing video games when I was eight. My parents didn’t buy me an Atari 2600 but they did let me play at the houses of friends who did. When the school started classes in computer programing my parents were happy to pay for me to learn a new skill. So at twelve I was fluent in basic and was allowed as much screen time as I could get without owning a computer. At fifteen I worked all summer to get a Commodore 64 and all the accessories. Loads of screen time after that. In college they had… I believe it was Mac IIs. I wasted a lot of money those two years avoiding classes in favor of even more screen time. Then it was Nintendos and PCs. Now it’s social media and video games on both my PC and my phone. I never learned to manage my screen time and it would probably take an intervention to teach me now.
