I was born a few years earlier. My mom limited my internet time to 1 hour per day -- which had more to do with keeping us under our allotted ISP hours without getting overages than it did modifying my behavior.

But in hindsight I'm extremely thankful for the limitation. A computer stops being a social channel when it's offline so the hours I spent offline were pretty crucial for me to learn a variety of things - from learning how to code to creating art.

It also really did force me to go outside and learn about the world that way.
