Get App-y: Tech issues can be exhausting

Families now have so many devices operating on different platforms that bouncing between all of them can be tiring.

To prevent eye strain, doctors recommend using eye drops and looking up and 20 feet away from your screen at least every 20 minutes for 20 seconds or more. The setup/update fatigue I'm experiencing may take longer to subside. In my own family, I limit screen time the best I can because there is real life to enjoy beyond technology.

I still have a couple more tech things to fix at home. But soon, I hope my children can start taking over the digital problem solving for their own devices. It will be nice to spread the fatigue around a bit.
