I recently read an engadget article saying Bill Gates is limiting his daughter's internet time. Gates says his daughter has been playing the video game Viva Piñata, purportedly playing for "two to three hours per day." So Mr. Gates felt the need to slapp down a "45-minutes per day" law for non-school related computing tasks on the weekdays, and added just 15 minutes for weekends.

I think this is a little harsh. considering that an hour is just 1/24 of one day. Somehow I'm just not sure how well a rule like this could be enforced as the line between school related work and play can be a gray one. This may not be they way I will make my kids spend their time but who am I or anyone else blogging about this to tell Bill Gates how to take care of his children?
