The DJ on True Oldies Channel mentioned a family that has 4 screens for each member of the family. I guess I'm right up there.
I did a quick check and I have 2 I use daily, phone and laptop. And 2 others I rarely use, old desktop and my tv.
How about you?

(22,756 posts)I'm getting messages that my laptop won't be supported much longer, so maybe when get a new one, I'll use it more. I'm afraid of viruses, malware, other problems, so i don't surf much. I don't like surfing on my phone, the screen is too small.

(75,893 posts)How are we defining devices?
We have 2 phones & a laptop..but, we still pay for cable. We do have TVs
But, in reality there are almost never more than 2 TVs on & I might be on the net on my phone.
If we count TVs, 8. If not, 3.

My husband says my ipad is my husband because its always with me. I finally added two apps to help me cut down on screen time. One is called touch grass, you have to take a pictureof yourself in nature before it will let you open a screen.
