We have an increasing amount of technology in our homes, from computers (laptop and desktop), tablets (the Apple iPad, amongst others), televisions, television set top boxes, digital radios. It's not been easy, until now, to get understandable, honest, straightforward support, advice and training. Have you ever been frustrated by the seeming inability of your iPod to play multiple podcasts in ascending date order? The Independent newspaper reports today on a study by Public Health England that excessive screen time is linked to anxiety and depression.

There are ways to restrict screen time (over and above the option of physically removing the ‘offending' device). If your device doesn't have controls built in, there may be applications you can buy that provide some more control. When even that option's not available, more drastic action is called for.
