Gates family's 'screen limits'

Just a fun little parenting tidbit from a famous family: Bill and Melinda Gates's oldest child, who's 10, only just became "a hard-core Internet and computer user" when she started attending a school "where the students use tablet computers for almost everything," Reuters reports. Suddenly she was an avid gamer who could spend hours a day playing Viva Pinata on the Xbox 360. The Microsoft founder said his 10-year-old daughter, his oldest child, was not a hard-core Internet and computer user until this year, when she started at a school where the students use tablet computers for almost everything. So her parents set a limit: "45 minutes a day of total screen time for games and an hour a day on weekends," plus whatever time is needed on the PC for homework.
