A shared computer and no Internet when they are supposed to be sleeping is draconian?

    Isn't this how us kids in the 1990's and 2000s grew up? (Minus the phone because we didn't have them, or just a flip phone)

    Calling it draconian to not be able to stay up all night on the internet sounds kind of like an iPad kid as a teenager lol

    Yep. And even then, our desktop computer was upstairs - which was out of the way, nothing up there except my sister's bedroom and a living room that wasn't really used - so arguably that was too isolated lol. We weren't allowed laptops until we finished high school! Even my friend who did have a laptop wasn't allowed it in her bedroom.

    The internet was also restricted to go off at 9pm because I was staying up on msn and Myspace all night otherwise 😅
