Like many parents we use Microsoft Family Safety to limit screen time of our children. It turns out that the default screen time is …
15 HOURS PER DAY !!!!!
So when you register a Microsoft device (e.g. Windows computer or Xbox) for your 9 year old, the default screen time for your 9 year old is 15 hours. Actually, the default setting is: no control of screen time. Isn’t this hilarious?
Dear Microsoft, it is very nice that you have an App to limit screen time of our children. It is possibly a fact that many parents are overwhelmed with managing the opportunities and threats of today’s technology together with their kids and will not apply screen time at all.
However, wouldn’t it be a service to those parents who care about the health of their children to start with a default screen time of 1 hour upon registration?
